We are an Indian deep-tech startup founded in 2025, revolutionising shipbuilding by designing intelligent digital platform systems — the "brain and heartbeat" of today's smart and future unmanned vessels.
We are incubated at the IIT Madras Incubation Cell, India’s leading deep-tech Startup Hub.
The name "AstraYAN" ...
... is a fusion of Sanskrit and Latin words, symbolising a vessel of advanced intelligence and powerful tools—an embodiment of innovation, purpose, and forward-thinking design.
Modern conflicts are reshaping naval operations, handling Dull, Dirty, and Dangerous (3D) missions, and sustaining long deployments. Navies are increasingly prioritising fleets composed of multiple, smaller ships loaded with firepower over a limited number of expensive, large ships.
The commercial shipbuilding industry faces pressure to reduce operational costs while grappling with growing challenges in crew management, stringent emission regulations, and human-error-related accidents, which account for 75–96% of maritime incidents.
Future smart and unmanned ships will rely on advanced digital technologies to deliver the intelligence needed for leanly manned, remote, autonomous and hybrid operations.
Smarter ships are redefining industry standards, demanding advanced design approaches that seamlessly integrate core machinery with digital systems for optimal performance and efficiency.
We design our digital platform systems, ARKionics, for the modern smart and unmanned ships grounded in the principles of avionics, focusing on seamless integration of control and machinery systems.
Our digital platform designs are built on our in-house-development framework, VyomARK, engineered to deliver high data throughput, robust security, and a modular, scalable architecture meeting the demanding requirements of smart and unmanned vessels.
