BioSky: SpaceTech Company with Next-Level Weather Forecasting Innovations

From WeWork to the Deepest Parts of Space: BioSky’s ambition to change the way we view Spacetech

Building a company that’s deeply entrenched in space wasn’t exactly on the cards for Saurabh and Nimish. But after spending nearly a decade in consulting working along with space companies, he found himself learning the ropes quickly and understanding the nuances of space as it is. 

Saurabh noticed a gap pretty quickly. Nearly 6 years ago, the spacetech landscape was limited to the ISRO and its capabilities. Things have changed rapidly since then, with the potential market in earth observation estimated to be about approximately $8.4 billion and India holding about 2% share of the global space economy, according to Invest India with over 200 companies competing for a slice of this growing market.

Saurabh naturally took his time to evaluate the opportunity a little more closely. “When the Indian space sector began opening up around 2021, I was already closely involved with it. I started tracking the sector even more actively—identifying technologies, evaluating business models, and analyzing what value space tech could add to different industries,” he told WeWork Labs in a conversation. “By 2023, we were clear that space-tech should offer clear advantages over other technologies in whatever industry we entered,” he added.

Since then Saurabh and his co-founder have been relentlessly pursuing the depths of space through their company BioSky and as they put it, there is a lot more left to discover.

Doubling down on a problem statement

There’s a lot brewing in India’s spacetech scene. Of the $81 million raised by Indian spacetech startups so far, much of the activity has centered around upstream innovations—think small satellite launch vehicles, satellite subsystems, and propulsion tech.

In Earth Observation domain, there is a steadily growing segment—using space tech tosolve for weather and climate challenge. That’s where BioSky is carving out its niche. “One of the biggest gaps we noticed was in access to satellite data—especially in the Global South,” say the founders. “India still lacks consistent spatial and temporal resolution for many critical use cases. We might eventually build that infrastructure ourselves, but our starting point was always solving a business problem first.”

Accurate weather forecasts are critical for most industries, this includes, renewables, defence, logistics, and climate-focused sectors. While the global accuracy of weather predictions has reached about 96% in 2025, in India those averages hover at 80%. According to Nimish, Foundational weather models like WRF were built for mid-latitudes—Europe and the U.S.—not for tropical climates like India’s. So the models don’t translate well. “We’re not building weather models ourselves, but we are fixing the data problem—using remote sensing, fusing multiple imagery sources, and leveraging ML to enrich and downscale data for more precise forecasts,” he adds.

Building at WeWork

Building Biosky also meant rewriting the script of how they traditionally worked. For Saurabh, after meeting the WeWork Labs team and attending an event in the spaces, it seemed like an obvious move to move his cutting-edge spacetech company to a WeWork building. “The remote aspect of work didn’t work for us; we needed to huddle constantly. So having accessible workspaces across cities was a game-changer,” he says.

BioSky’s journey is a reminder that space-tech isn’t just about rockets and satellites—it’s about grounded, real-world impact. From improving the accuracy of weather forecasts for renewable energy operators to unlocking better decision-making through enriched satellite data, the company is quietly redefining what it means to build for space from India. Operating out of a WeWork in Saket and Gurugram might seem like a modest beginning, but for Saurabh, Nimish and their team, it’s a launchpad—one that’s helping them scale fast, stay agile, and stay focused on the long game. As the boundaries between Earth and orbit continue to blur, BioSky is betting that the next wave of innovation won’t come from aiming higher, but from seeing sharper.
