About

Dhenenjay is Co-Founder and CEO at AxionOrbital Space (YC W26), building foundation models that enable 24/7 Earth observation through clouds and darkness. The company's ORION model achieved state-of-the-art performance with a FID score of 30.24, beating competitors by 19.23% on the MSAW benchmark.

Before founding

Dhenenjay worked as an ML Engineer at ISRO and served as an RL Researcher at IIMA. He holds an MBA from Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (2023-2025) and founded InertiaLogic AI, an AI-based SaaS and agritech startup.

Experience

AxionOrbital Space translates raw radar backscatter into analysis-ready optical imagery in real-time using deterministic one-step diffusion. The company's ORION model runs in 0.06 seconds, enabling persistent situational awareness for defense, commodities trading, agriculture, and disaster response.

Scale & Impact

AxionOrbital Space is part of Y Combinator's Winter 2026 batch and has backing from Character Capital. The company's technology addresses the critical visibility gap where optical satellites are useless 70% of the time due to weather and darkness, making continuous Earth observation possible for the first time.
