Spacetech startup HEX20 opens new office at Technopark

Trivandrum / November 27, 2025

Thiruvananthapuram, Nov. 27: Technopark-based spacetech startup HEX20, which built India's first rideshare satellite in the private sector, has expanded its operations in Technopark Phase-1.

As part of its strategies to scale up operations, HEX20 recently added a 4500 sq.ft space in MSquared Building, which can house around 50 professionals and equipped with cabins, meeting rooms and pantry. It is located at a short walking distance from its first office in Nila Building.

It  is also working on a project to expand its lab facility in Nila Building to a 2000 sq.ft space, which would drive the venture’s ambition to build heavier satellites in the immediate future. The lab is expected to be functional by the mid- December 2025.

This will make HEX20's total floor presence to about 7000 sq.ft in Thiruvananthapuram (including the Ground Station facility).

HEX20 was Kerala’s first startup to partner with US launch provider Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) for launching its maiden satellite Nila, named after the culturally significant river in Kerala, as well as the Technopark building where it is located.

Seeking to give an impetus to the efforts to create a space ecosystem, HEX20 set up its state-of-the-art R&D facility at Technopark in 2023. This facility is well positioned to serve as the ultimate catalyst for innovation, collaboration and the pursuit of excellence in the field of space technology in the state.

HEX20, which has its presence in Australia, UAE and Taiwan, has partnered with the domestic manufacturing network that plays a pivotal role in ISRO missions. HEX20 builds payload agnostic satellite platforms and offers satellite mission as a service and payload hosting capabilities for in-orbit demonstration to its customers.
