Big news.

Astra is shutting down. Well, not really—we’re evolving.

We’re merging with LocalHost and becoming LocalHost India. A bigger team. A shared vision. More ways to back builders, hackers, and creators.

Looking back, I’m grateful. From our first hackathons to late-night brainstorming, Astra has been a home for people who love to build.

To the team—this journey has been exciting! From the small wins to the big milestones, grateful to have built this together.

To everyone who’s been part of this—thank you. Whether you joined an event, worked on a project, or just cheered us on.


To our partners and sponsors—Bluelearn, ActualOne, yep.so, CrackedDevs, Codedamn, .xyz domains, Interview Cake, Flatlogic, Zeroic, Devkit, Era of Nocode, & Fueler—appreciate you backing us.

As for me, I’ll be leading the newly found LocalHost India, continuing to back the potential of young technologists.

This isn’t goodbye. Just the next chapter.
Let’s see where we go from here.
