Engineering the
Impossible

Booster Deep Tech is built on 20 years of independent research by Lavanyakumar Panuganti — a software engineer from Hyderabad whose scientific curiosity has produced five original deep technology concepts, each validated by institutions that do not give recognition lightly. In 2005, as a second-year B.E. student, Lavanya submitted a paper on an Interceptor Nuclear Missile System — addressed to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the then President of India. The paper was reviewed by Dr. VK Saraswat, Distinguished Scientist and Programme Director at DRDO Programme 'AD', Hyderabad, who personally congratulated Lavanya and confirmed DRDO would retain the paper for future study when such technologies become feasible. That same year, a novel radome aerodynamic design — eliminating friction, heating and sputtering at hypersonic velocities — was presented to Dr. S.K. Chaudhuri, Outstanding Scientist and Associate Director at RCI Hyderabad. His written response, bearing the Government of India seal, described it as "looks very good." In the years that followed, Lavanya developed an in-theater anti-piracy system using light manipulation, which attracted direct engagement from Jim Helman at MovieLabs, San Francisco — one of the film industry's leading technology research organizations. He invented and patented a space-based solar power architecture (Patent No. 520647, Government of India, granted 2024), capable of 24-hour continuous generation at 10× Earth-orbit efficiency — with further potential in Mars terraforming, deep space propulsion and asteroid mining. And he built an urban natural light transmission system, incubated at IIT Hyderabad, that delivers rooftop sunlight into windowless building interiors at full working brightness. Five technologies. One granted patent. Zero institutional funding. Twenty years of work. Booster Deep Tech is now seeking its first external partnership to bring the anti-piracy system to commercial deployment.
