Team Indus

Lunar landers and rovers, the Z-01 lunar lander and ECA rover for commercial lunar missions, are the field Axiom Research Labs Private Limited (operating as TeamIndus) leads, a Bengaluru aerospace company. Founded in 2010 to compete in the Google Lunar XPRIZE (which ended in 2018 without a winner), the ISO 9001:2015-certified company offers scalable platforms for orbital delivery and stratospheric applications, leveraging new systems engineering to reduce mission costs and lead times. With $18M raised from investors such as Nandan Nilekani and Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, TeamIndus partnered with NASA's CLPS program via OrbitBeyond in 2018 for lunar-payload delivery and collaborates with ISRO, its mission focused on affordable, rapid-turnaround planetary exploration, targeting a $3B cislunar market by 2030.
