The corporate states the {hardware} will observe physiological metrics which can be at the moment unmeasured by present shopper wearables, aiming for a brand new normal of precision within the class. It has not but introduced a goal launch date for the system.

The system traces again to “Gravity Ageing Speculation,” a physique of analysis revealed in November 2025 by Deepinder Goyal by way of his science initiative, Proceed Analysis. Goyal, alongside former Zomato government Ashish Goel, directs the initiative.

The speculation means that human ageing is closely influenced by gravity’s steady pull, which steadily reduces efficient blood circulation to extremely metabolic mind areas, such because the hypothalamus and brainstem.

Goyal acknowledged the acquisition is LAT Aerospace’s first transfer towards constructing indigenous defence capabilities. The corporate intends to combine Sharang Shakti’s expertise to construct in-house, shared core stacks for autonomy, notion, sensing, navigation, steering, and management methods, which shall be deployed throughout each defence and civil aviation applications over time.
