== History ==
Ananth Technologies was incorporated on 17 August 1992 in [[Hyderabad]] by Dr.Subba Rao Pavuluri, a former employee of the [[ISRO|Indian Space Research Organisation]] (ISRO). Pavuluri was a division head at ISRO when he left in 1991.<ref>{{cite web |title=A New Crucible of Capitalism |url=http://www.inrimt.com/NewCrucible.htm |website=www.inrimt.com |publisher=Businessworld |access-date=4 November 2021 |date=March 1996}}</ref> He explained, "I left midway because of the encouragement they gave me that things can be done in the private sector to serve ISRO and also grow independently". Ananth Technologies was one of the first [[Private spaceflight|private sector space]] companies in India.<ref name = "print">{{cite web |last1=Chakrabarti |first1=Angana |title=India's private space sector is rising, but wait for Bezos-like 'joy rides' will be longer |url=https://theprint.in/science/indias-private-space-sector-is-rising-but-wait-for-bezos-like-joy-rides-will-be-longer/739619/ |website=ThePrint |access-date=4 November 2021 |date=26 September 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Ananth Technologies Limited Company Profile |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/company/ananth-technologies-limited/U72200TG1992PLC014675 |website=The Economic Times |access-date=4 November 2021}}</ref>

Ananth Technologies opened a new satellite manufacturing facility at Aerospace Park in [[Devanahalli]], near [[Bengaluru]], Karnataka in February 2020. Pavuluri told ''[[The Economic Times]]'' that the company had signed deals to build and launch 6 satellites for customers in France and Sweden. He stated that the satellites would weigh between 50 kg and 250 kg each, but did not disclose the names of the customers citing confidentiality.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Pramanik |first1=Ayan |title=In a first, Ananth Tech will build 6 satellites for foreign customers |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/science/in-a-first-ananth-tech-will-build-6-satellites-for-foreign-customers/articleshow/74073441.cms |website=The Economic Times |date=11 February 2020 |access-date=4 November 2021}}</ref> The deal made Ananth Technologies the first private Indian company to build satellites for a foreign customer following the [[Government of India|Indian government]]'s decision to permit private sector companies to build satellites and rockets, and offer launch services.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ananth Technologies To Build Foreign-Owned Satellites For The First Time Ever |url=https://inc42.com/buzz/ananth-technologies-to-build-foreign-owned-satellites-for-the-first-time-ever/ |website=Inc42 Media |access-date=4 November 2021 |date=11 February 2020}}</ref>

In November 2020, Ananth Technologies established a joint venture named SaAn Satellite Networks India, with United States-based satellite operator Saturn Satellite Networks Inc., to build and launch two NationSat communication satellites. The company will build the two 300–700 kg satellites at its Bangalore facility. Ananth Technologies has an agreement with [[NewSpace India Limited]] to launch satellites on board the ISRO's [[Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Pramanik |first1=Ayan |title=Ananth Technologies signs JV to build, launch satellites from India |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/science/ananth-technologies-signs-jv-to-build-launch-satellites-from-india/articleshow/79493210.cms |website=The Economic Times |date=30 November 2020 |access-date=4 November 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Saturn Establishes a JV with Ananth Technologies to build and launch Nationsat satellites for the Indian Market |url=https://www.talksatellite.com/AsiaPac774.html |website=www.talksatellite.com |access-date=4 November 2021}}</ref>
