Team Indus is the only Indian entrant in contention for the Google Lunar X Prize. 

Google Lunar X PRIZE (GLXP), popularly known as Moon 2.0, is a space competition being conducted by the X Prize Foundation and is sponsored by Google. Launched in 2007, the Google Lunar XPrize aims “to incentivize space entrepreneurs to create a new era of affordable access to the Moon and beyond.”

The competition aims to see a team land a rover on the moon’s surface, travel more than 500 meters in any direction, and transmit high-definition imagery from the surface of the moon. 

A cash prize of $ 20 million will be awarded for the first team to achieve this. 

Team Indus is a startup which began as a group of 5 people and has grown into a team of 85 over the last five  years. Fifteen of the members are retired ISRO scientists. As of 2016, Team Indus is one of the favourites to reach the moon first.
