Times of India :
Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, is scheduled to visit India on Sunday. This visit, eagerly anticipated following Musk’s social media announcement on X (formerly Twitter), includes a planned meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday.
During his trip, Musk is also expected to engage with several of India’s spacetech startups in New Delhi, reports Khaama Press.
These startups, such as Skyroot Aerospace, Agnikul Cosmos, Piersight, SatSure, KaleidEO, Bellatrix Aerospace, and Dhruva Space, represent a rapidly expanding sector that has significantly evolved from just five startups in 2019 to over 190 active ventures.
India’s spacetech industry received a substantial boost in 2022 with Skyroot Aerospace successfully launching the country’s first private rocket. This milestone underscores the vibrant ecosystem that now includes a diverse array of firms contributing innovatively to the sector.
Skyroot Aerospace is at the forefront, developing cost-effective launch vehicles aimed at accommodating the increasing demand for small satellite launches.
