About Susan

Solving Real-World Problems Through Advanced Engineering

Founded in 2021 and headquartered at IIT Madras Research Park, Susan Future Technologies is a deep-tech startup at the intersection of aerospace, communications, and intelligent systems.

We build scalable solutions for global challenges — from persistent surveillance to last-mile connectivity — using platforms that operate at altitudes no satellite or drone can efficiently reach.

MISSION
Build scalable solutions
for global challenges.
VISION
Sustainable, interconnected
future through innovation.
🛰️
Near-Space Operations
Deploying platforms between 1–30 km altitude — the gap between drones and satellites — unlocking unprecedented coverage and persistence.
🔬
Research-Backed Innovation
Built from IIT research labs with strong government collaborations, translating cutting-edge science into deployable aerospace solutions.
Our Platforms

Next-Generation
Aerial Platforms

Purpose-built systems operating across altitude bands — delivering cost-effective, persistent aerial coverage where nothing else can.

HIGH-ALTITUDE · 20–30 KM
MOBIUS-01
MOBIUS
// HIGH-ALTITUDE STRATOSPHERIC AIRSHIP

Operating at 20–30 km altitude in the stratosphere, MOBIUS delivers persistent wide-area coverage — a cost-effective alternative to low-Earth orbit satellites with far superior revisit times.

Ultra-low deployment cost vs. LEO satellites
Massive footprint coverage — 700+ km diameter
Rapid deployment & retrieval capability
Solar-electric propulsion, extended endurance
Communication Surveillance Earth Observation 5G Backhaul
LOW-ALTITUDE · 0.1–3 KM
AEROSTAT-T3
AEROSTATS
// TETHERED LOW-ALTITUDE SYSTEMS

Tethered aerial platforms operating at 100m–3km altitude, providing persistent real-time intelligence over critical areas. Rapidly deployable with continuous power and data via tether.
