Got a bunch of DMs asking for tips on renting a house in Bangalore. Put whatever I’ve learnt from changing 3 houses in 4+ years, PTR, brokers’ list, & flat and flatmate group links etc on this Notion page (in true @peakbengaluru fashion). Hope it helps!

On this blue moon day, it's a good reminder that once in a blue moon, you push a satellite beyond what it was built to do. 🌍🛰️

Firefly Mission Log: Lunar Detour

Built to image our planet, Firefly isn't generally meant to look outward. But testing a satellite’s limits is how we learn what more it can do.

This image of the Moon is the result of significant effort across teams, from fine-tuning parameters and correcting misalignments to enhancing the satellite’s agility and stability.

Experiments like these help us better understand our satellites, improve how we operate them, and extract more from the systems we’ve built.

@VazeKshitij @ishanspatil @PixxelSpace Could you drop me a DM pls, we’ll figure it out! :)

A fitting day to announce something straight out of sci-fi: India’s first orbital data centre satellite!

@PixxelSpace’s remote sensing satellites and @SarvamAI’s AI and compute together in orbit. Not in a galaxy far, far away, but built right here.

May the 4th be with us! 🚀

[Pixxel @PixxelSpace]

Today, we’re taking a step toward truly galactic-scale capabilities. 🚀

We’re partnering with @SarvamAI to bring sovereign AI into orbit aboard India’s first orbital data centre satellite, a pathfinder mission bringing datacenter-class GPUs and high-performance remote sensing together in space.

Built and operated by Pixxel, with Sarvam providing the AI backbone, the demonstrator marks a step toward making orbital data centres real, operational, and scalable from India.

May the 4th be with us all! ✨

How well can you read your planet? 🌍

Earth is constantly sending signals through vegetation, water, and land, but most are easy to miss without the right lens.

This #EarthDay, take our quiz and test how well you can spot the signs! 👇

Hey everyone, we’re Nick & Nick!

For years, we’ve been the guys spamming group chats with pics of our latest home cooking experiments. Burnt edges, perfect sauces, glorious disasters, and the rare meal that feels straight out of a Michelin kitchen. But we kept asking ourselves: why don’t we have a real home for this hobby?

Bookworms have Goodreads

Runners have Strava

Chess nerds have chess .com

Cooks? We’ve got… blurry iMessage threads and disappearing Instagram stories??

So we built Linecook, it’s Strava for home cooking. A place to
• Track your cooking memories and milestones
• Save every recipe you’ve nailed, bombed, or want to try one day
• Celebrate every meal you make with your own two hands

We’re officially coming out of stealth today. Linecook is now in open beta on TestFlight, and we’re looking for passionate home cooks to join our community and help shape it.

If you love cooking, we want you in!

Join the beta at https://t.co/vM8CIuaCiU

And follow along as we build your new favorite social app!

Come work with me on Stripe product comms!

We’re looking for people with unorthodox backgrounds, spiky skills, high-agency, strong points of view, taste, and curiosity about the power of fast-improving infra in a world of agents and stablecoins

To apply, among other things, tell us what we’re not getting right!

When @edwinarbus texted me about the role, I thought he had the wrong person. I also had no idea what product comms was. Frankly, I hadn't spent a minute thinking about comms as a function until then

Two years later, I still find the way we practice the function hard to define

The work itself is easier to describe: intellectually rigorous, creatively open, intense, and vast in scope. It keeps you on your toes

Where else does a product comms person get to help produce Cheeky Pint, plan product launches, write user keynotes, and build fun websites explaining usage-based billing with a Will Smith eating spaghetti meme?

Supporting women in science and engineering shouldn’t be a one-day moment. It should be built into how organisations operate every day.

At Pixxel, nearly 48% of our leadership roles are held by women, across engineering, research, mission operations, and more. The Shakuntala Initiative extends that philosophy beyond our own teams.

Earlier this week, we began with Shakuntala Grants, and The Shakuntala initiative will continue to grow through conversations, shared knowledge, and community efforts for women across STEM.

Because the next breakthroughs will come from minds we haven’t heard of yet.

Happy International Women’s Day! 🌸

[Pixxel @PixxelSpace]

Some names carry history. Some mark beginnings.
Shakuntala carries both forward. ✨

At Pixxel, it now represents a new effort to advance women in STEM.

Swipe to learn the story behind the name and the initiative it inspires. 👇

[Neerja Shah @Neerjargon]

@sia_steel @PixxelSpace Thank you so much for being open to this❤️
Super excited to get this rolling!

[Pixxel @PixxelSpace]

Curiosity drives science forward. Expanding who gets to pursue it makes it stronger.

This International Women’s Day, we’re launching Shakuntala Grants, a programme supporting women researchers studying the planet and opening pathways for the next generation to discover science.

In partnership with Escape Velocity Grants (by @sia_steel and @paraschopra), we will fund climate and environmental projects through micro-grants for women researchers. With Saare Taare Zameen Par, we’re bringing hands-on STEM learning to girls in middle school through their Spark of Curiosity programme.

Shakuntala Grants mark the beginning of The Shakuntala Initiative by Pixxel, a sustained effort to advance, spotlight, and strengthen women in STEM throughout the year. 🌍🔬

Shared the same space with @gagan_shux yesterday. Still can’t believe this counts as work at @PixxelSpace! 🫶🥹

[Pixxel @PixxelSpace]

It was an honour to host Dr. V. Narayanan, Secretary, Department of Space and Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation (@isro), at our Bengaluru facility!

In conversation with our founders @awaisahmedna and @kshitijgokul, he engaged with our teams across engineering and manufacturing, and reviewed the satellites and systems shaping our next phase of growth.

His visit underscored the ambition of India’s evolving space ecosystem and the role we are building within it, advancing sovereign capability while creating space infrastructure designed to serve the world. 🌍

No one talks about this, but the secret to creative excellence is having 8 projects with concurrent deadlines and overlapping meetings and being in a constant state of panic
