On 3rd December 2018, a private Indian company Exseed Space launched it's first ever satellite into space called ExseedSat 1. But I couldn't find the TLE for this satellite. I looked it up on n2yo website to find nothing.

It was carried as a payload on SpaceX's Falcon 9 listed under 3rd December 2018. I could find TLE's of some of the payload satellites from that launch on n2yo but not ExseedSat 1.

Can anyone help me find it's TLE?

Unofficial
From https://planet4589.org/space/log/launchlogy.txt

2018-099T      Vusat-OSCAR-96                 Exseedsat-1               S43775

Otherwise known as OBJECT T, or number 43775.

As I found this, I checked N2YO, and saw there was a 70-degree elevation pass currently over my QTH, listened on only radio available (145.9 MHz FM), and heard nothing.

This is a partial answer because it looks like the identities of all of these haven't been worked out and published yet.

Gunter's Space Page for ExseedSat-1 is https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/exseedsat-1.htm

From there we can only see part of the Cospar ID 2018-099 without the letters. This list http://www.dk3wn.info/p/?page_id=29535 still says "tbd" and nothing here definitive yet https://community.libre.space/t/new-satellites-plan-for-sso-a-smallsat-express-launch-on-november-19/2825

Going to Celestrak SatCat Search https://celestrak.org/satcat/search.php and then clicking Raw SATCAT Data gives a giant list with 65 lines that begin with 2018-099 from 2018-099A to 2018-099BS. Most don't have names assigned yet.

It takes a while. You can read the following to get an idea:


While we're waiting, I'll add the SatCat listing for 25-Dec-2018 about 15:00 UTC, alphabetized by name:
