Our mission

Decarbonising and Securing

The future of humanity

Traditionally, advanced materials like composites take a lot of time to manufacture, making them impossible to scale and use in mass manufactured industrial, automotive, logistics and consumer products. Our Vision is to reinvent composites in formulation, 5-min manufacturing & structural design, making cutting-edge composite materials accessible, affordable, and rapid.

Born from space science(ex - ISRO) and driven by innovation, we're breaking the barriers of traditional composites. What once took days now takes minutes. What once cost millions now costs thousands.

The Technology

But how are we making them under 5 minutes?

Our core innovation has made composite material manufacturing rapid and scalable.

New Formulation & Process

e-glass + thermoplastics

(PP, PU, PA) + fillers

IR + High compaction

molding/pultrusion

4-hours Mfg. timeReduced to 5-mins

The Result

10x ROI on CAPEX due to 5-min production

High Strength with affordability - 1st time

High Scalability with moulding/pultrusion

New methods to reduce to 2-min manufacturing time

By combining thermoplastic with e-glass using IR heating and high compaction, we've eliminated the long curing times of traditional thermosets while maintaining superior mechanical properties.

The Productization

From Innovation to Market Reality

Having breakthrough technology is just the beginning. We're solving the productization challenge to make advanced composites accessible.

The Productization Gap

Most advanced materials fail not due to technical limitations, but because they can't transition from lab innovation to mass-market products.

The challenges: uncertain supply, custom engineering requirements, high minimum order quantities, affordability resulting in <1-year payback and lack of industry-standard specifications.

Our Approach

We are using our own material and manufacturing expertise to make composite panels/beams which are then made into brilliant and supremely efficient products.

Industry Partnerships

Strategic collaborations with OEMs for co-development, supply chain integration, and market validation

Volume Economics

Competitive pricing achieving cost parity with traditional materials and attractive ROI for customers

Making Advanced Materials Mainstream

By combining rapid manufacturing with smart productization, we're transforming composites from niche materials into everyday building blocks.

The Opportunity

The Material Revolution That's Waiting to Happen

Composites vastly outperform steel and traditional materials due to lower fuel consumption, lower corrosion and lower emissions. The entire world should be transitioning — but there's a bottleneck. Now with Planet's solution, we want to make this a reality.
