Pranos Fusion is building the machinery India would need to generate power from fusion
The Bengaluru-based company develops plasma control software, superconducting magnets and a compact tokamak, aiming at the engineering rather than the physics.
Pranos Fusion, a startup founded in Bengaluru in 2024 by Shaurya Kaushal and Roshan George, is working on the industrial infrastructure required for fusion power plants. Fusion, the reaction that powers the sun, involves light atoms being forced together to release energy, with no carbon dioxide emissions and minimal radioactive waste compared to fission.
Despite expectations that fusion would be achieved soon, the delays are not due to physics, as laboratories have successfully produced fusion reactions. The challenge lies in the industrial apparatus, such as magnets, control systems, design tools, and supply chain. Pranos Fusion aims to fill this gap by building an integrated fusion technology stack consisting of three parts: JENGA, a design and plasma-control platform; MAGGA, high-temperature superconducting magnets; and PRAGYA, a compact spherical tokamak.
The founders' expertise spans physics, computational physics, engineering, and computer science, with Kaushal leading physics and hardware, George overseeing software and control algorithms. In August 2026, Pranos completed India's first privately developed tokamak and aims for its first plasma milestone this year.
