Not every day you're invited to meet the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India. Well, today was that special day!
21 August 2026: Our co-founders Tushar Jadhav and Ashtesh Kumar sat among a small, inspiring circle of India's space founders invited to interact directly with Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi
He walked through the models, paused at the hardware and asked questions like a curious mind that genuinely wants to understand what his countrymen are building, not from a briefing, but from the founders themselves.
Over high tea, the conversation flowed the way it only does when a leader treats you as a partner in a shared mission, not an audience for a speech.
For founders who've spent a decade proving green propulsion could work, being seen, heard, and acknowledged by the Prime Minister of India is a defining moment no roadmap could have ever promised.
This is the leader who opened India's space sector to private hands in 2020 and who still makes time to stand with its builders and listen.
We carried what we've built since 2017; Vyom 2U and Sharanga, our green propulsion systems, a decade of work and labour of love that will redefine safe manoeuvrability for satellite missions in space.
To PM Modi, we are beyond grateful. To @INSPACeIND under Dr. @GoenkaPk thank you, sir, for building the runway.
We're ready to propel on it with the new legacy of our beloved Bharat 🇮🇳🚀

Sharanga: The name refers to the bow of Lord Vishnu!
In our our propulsion system family, this micro-propulsion system stands special and distinct.
Developed under @India_iDEX 'SPARK' grant, it carries the dual credibility of government validation and startup-grade agility.
1. Steve Jobs didn't sell the Mac. He championed the people who dared to Think Different.
#BehindtheBuild is that spirit at Manastu Space, making the depth of thinking visible, long before you see the flight hardware.

'Space Propulsion Design'🧵
"Why not build an Indian Space Ecosystem with cutting-edge technology that contributes to our nation's growth and defense objectives, competing with international companies? What stops us, absolutely nothing!"
- CEO Tushar Jadhav on “Powering India - From Earth to Orbit”
We are incredibly honored to represent India’s deep-tech ecosystem under the Bharat Innovates 2026 initiative, supported by the Ministry of Education and the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India.
Let's propel the future of our space and together.
Manastu Space is on the global stage at @BharatInnov2026 representing India among major deep-tech startups.
PM Modi's unwavering belief in Bharat's space startups, has made moments like this possible.
We thank everyone who believed in us and our green propulsion technology.
2. To @PawanKChandana & @bharathdaka co-founders of @SkyrootA, we at team @ManastuSpace salute and cheer for you.
You did not simply launch a rocket on the first go, but in all fairness you gave the proof to a dream and strength driven hope for this ecosystem's fellow dreamers.
1. Their roots are 'goated', and they proved it in the sky with VIKRAM-1 launch.
Skyroot didn't just reach the orbit, they triumphed it.
Mission Aagaman: Vikram-1, India's first privately-developed orbital rocket, soaring from Sriharikota into history. 🇮🇳🚀
A true 'Aagaman'
