The platform will cover developments ranging from astronomy and scientific research to global space missions and technological innovations.The move comes at a time when interest in space science has been growing in India, driven by the country’s expanding space programme, private-sector participation and increased public engagement with missions undertaken by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).Bhaskar founded Bronto Intelligence with a focus on developing technology-led solutions across sectors. Its flagship platform, BrontoAI, is positioned as a human-centric artificial intelligence application designed for everyday users, while MSPConnect focuses on disseminating information related to Minimum Support Price (MSP) awareness among farmers.With the addition of Bronto Cosmos, the company now operates across three distinct sectors—artificial intelligence, agriculture and space science.Speaking on the launch, Bhaskar said the company’s objective was to use technology platforms to educate and empower users across different domains. “The more you know, the more magical it becomes. That philosophy continues to guide our efforts across AI, agriculture and now space science,” he said.Industry observers note that the emergence of young founders from Mumbai Metropolitan Region reflects a broader trend of technology entrepreneurship expanding beyond traditional software and e-commerce sectors into specialised fields such as artificial intelligence, agritech and science communication.For Navi Mumbai, which has increasingly emerged as a hub for educational institutions, startups and technology ventures, the launch adds another example of locally founded digital enterprises seeking to build niche platforms with a wider national and global audience.
