Digantara and Bunpai India — took an early lead as the 11-member ET Startup Awards jury deliberated on the Best on Campus category. Finally, after two rounds of discussions and a secret voting, Digantara, a spacetech startup, emerged as the unanimous winner.
With Chandrayaan-3’s historic Moon landing fresh in everyone’s mind, several factors helped clinch the win for Digantara Research & Technologies. The jury praised not just its technology prowess, but also highlighted how it was able to start up in a complex segment from campus and build traction in a crowded space that has recently seen a lot of entrepreneur and investor interest.

It is commendable that they have gone on to get early traction as well,” said a jury member.
