About Norzva

Engineering that starts in orbit.

Norzva is an Indian space company, founded in Chennai in 2026. We design, build and operate our own Earth-observation satellites, and turn their data into intelligence for defence and seven industries.

Our story

One idea: start from orbit.

The most valuable information about our planet, its oceans, farms, cities and borders, is increasingly gathered from space. Yet most organisations still receive it late, in formats they can't use, from suppliers far away.

Norzva was founded by spacecraft engineers with hands-on experience in guidance, navigation and control, the discipline that keeps satellites pointed where they need to look. In 2026 we set up in Chennai with a clear goal: build our own satellites, fly them, and deliver their data directly to the people who rely on it.

Owning the whole chain, from the spacecraft to the dashboard, lets us control the quality of every image and every alert. It is also what connects our seven domains: each one draws on the same satellites, the same data and the same engineering.

Mission

Make space data and space engineering practical for every organisation that needs to know what is happening on Earth and in orbit.

Vision

One Indian constellation serving the world, powering seven domains for defence and for business.

Our satellites

We build the satellites ourselves.

From the first design drawing to the last image delivered, the work happens at Norzva. That is how we control quality, cost and security.

  1. 01

    Design

    Spacecraft, payload and orbit designed together for the mission.

  2. 02

    Build & test

    Assembly, integration and environmental testing in Chennai.

  3. 03

    Launch

    Rideshare launches with trusted launch partners.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Commissioning, tasking and daily operations from our mission control.

  5. 05

    Deliver

    Imagery, analytics and alerts straight to customers.

The Norzva advantage

Closer, sharper, sooner.

Our satellites are engineered to see more detail and return more often than conventional imaging satellites, from smaller and more affordable spacecraft.

Sharper detail

Finer resolution from compact optics, so vehicles, vessels and structures are clearly identifiable.

Clearer radar

Stronger radar returns for sharper images at night and through cloud, with less power on board.

More frequent revisits

Smaller, lower-cost satellites mean more of them, so the same place is seen more often.

Faster answers

Onboard AI and quick downlinks deliver alerts in minutes rather than days.

Sovereign and secure

Designed, built and operated in India, with data that stays under our customers' control.

Clean by design

At the end of their mission our satellites naturally re-enter and burn up, leaving no long-lived debris.

Comparisons describe the design goals of the Norzva constellation, which is in development, against typical commercial imaging satellites.

What we do

One constellation. Seven domains.

Every Norzva business grows from the same satellites, data and engineering, so progress in one strengthens all of them.

01Aerospace

The origin: satellites, GNC and mission engineering.

 02Maritime

Ocean data and ship tracking.

 03Robotics

Docking, servicing and in-space assembly.

 04Automation

Satellite alerts that trigger action.

 05AI & Data

Onboard AI and Earth analytics.

 06Cloud

From downlink to API, and compute in orbit.

 07Enterprise

Space insight in your business systems.
What sets us apart

Why organisations choose Norzva.

We're a young company with a clear way of working.

Our own satellites

We design, build and operate the spacecraft, so we control data quality from the sensor to the screen.

Flight-grade engineering

We started in guidance, navigation and control, and hold all our software to the standard of a spacecraft.

Dual-use by design

The same capabilities serve defence, government and commercial customers, with the controls each one requires.

An open roadmap

We say clearly what is available today and what is still in development, on every page.

Our values

How we work.

Four principles guide how we hire, build and deliver.

EF

Engineering first

Decisions rest on evidence, analysis and tests, not on slides.

ET

Earn trust

We protect our customers' data, tell them what is ready and what isn't, and deliver what we promise.

OW

Ownership

Everyone owns something real and carries it from design to delivery.

IN

Build in India, for the world

We engineer in Chennai to international standards and serve customers wherever they are.
