Some of India’s sharpest builders started in dorm rooms instead of boardrooms, and our time at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani was proof. At Campus Connect 2026, we met the next generation of builders on a campus that has long been a launchpad for Indian founders. With Campus Connect is simple, we want to reach young builders and give them the head start and the push to build something remarkable. In that spirit, Manish Advani (@manishadvani12) sat down with Kshitij Khandelwal (@kshitijgokul) of Pixxel (@PixxelSpace) to share his entrepreneurial journey, one that began in a BITS dorm room. Hearing it from someone who walked the same corridors made the distance between a bold idea and a company feel a lot shorter. Kanishk Mehta, Shourya Sodhani, Shreedhar Malpani, and Akshat Singh from our team spent the day in one-on-one coffee chats with students to help them understand the world of venture capital. Huge thanks to everyone at BITS Pilani who made this happen. We can’t wait to see what you build. ✨

In January 2024, Shakuntala, Pixxel’s first pathfinder satellite, re-entered Earth’s atmosphere after spending over 600 days in space, marking the end of its mission. But what happens when a satellite reaches the end of its mission?

Was an absolute pleasure to meet and interact with @DrSJaishankar - the Honourable External Affairs Minister of India. Spoke about what @PixxelSpace is doing and he reiterated continued support of the government for all our global ambitions. Exciting conversation at the sidelines of the @raisinadialogue Middle East Summit in Abu Dhabi.
Interesting to meet young Indian tech entrepreneurs & founders on the sidelines of Raisina Middle East. This generation thinks big and thinks boldly.

The Next Challenge An image can show us what has changed. But understanding why it changed and what it means requires different kinds of sensing, multiple data sources, and systems that can bring them together at scale. Our goal has evolved from observing Earth to building the infrastructure that helps us understand it better.
