Life has come full circle! Glad to have shared the ride with you! 🚀

[Ishan @ishanspatil]

A couple years ago, we created a WhatsApp gc called Ad Astra for a small bunch of Indian spaceflight fans that met over Twitter

Then @StMayank joined me at Pixxel, @curiousnikkhil ended up at Dhruva, and today we flew payloads on the same PSLV

We wouldn't have believed you then

I love my X timeline today... 🇮🇳 🚀

I 🧡 "Place Station"

[Runtime @RuntimeBRT]

Most of India's PCB prototyping still happens in China, with JLCPCB offering ultra-low cost, consistent quality, and ease of use for small quantities.

Indian PCB manufacturers exist, but they struggle to compete with China on price.

Now though, there's a new kid on the block.

@ivishaltejwani is building PlaceStation, a made-in-India PCB manufacturing product ecosystem (based on open-source systems) that combines accelerated stenciling, component pick and place automation, and a custom reflow oven.

By bringing all of these together in a desktop-sized assembly line, Vishal and team are unlocking unprecedented access to affordable in-house PCB prototyping for Indian startups.

We visited Vishal Tejwani's R&D office in Mumbai to see how he's making it happen.

@ThePrintIndia Can someone please explain how is ARCI, short for "International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials" ?

asking for a friend :)

[Nikhil Mishra @curiousnikkhil]

@VikranthJonna Very true!

[Nikhil Mishra @curiousnikkhil]

Surprisingly, a well researched and written article with good questions...

[Swarajya @SwarajyaMag]

Look inside a "Made in India" satellite.

GPS receiver? Chinese. Optics? European. Thrusters? French. Solar cells? German. Onboard computer? Imported.

What's Indian? The bus structure. Sometimes. So, the label is technically accurate but strategically misleading. 🧵👇

@ishanspatil Congrats! Godspeed Fireflies!

[Nikhil Mishra @curiousnikkhil]

@ishanspatil Congrats and Godspeed!

[Nikhil Mishra @curiousnikkhil]

New Black Mirror episode!!

[Vanar Robots @vanar_robots]

We dream of humanoids who truly are one of us. Each new evolution of Vanar Robots will bring us closer to a future where they look, feel and work like us.

It all starts with the first evolution, the Generation 1.

[Nikhil Mishra @curiousnikkhil]

@ishanspatil Super proud 🇮🇳 ! Godspeed!

[Nikhil Mishra @curiousnikkhil]

@VikranthJonna @DhruvaSpace Congrats Vikranth! 🎉

[Nikhil Mishra @curiousnikkhil]

@RShivshankar This was honestly a very stupid and unprofessional comment from Captain Steeve.

All the disclaimers he put out in the video doesn't account for this stupidity.

[Nikhil Mishra @curiousnikkhil]

@AravSrinivas When is comet releasing to the public? ☄️

[Nikhil Mishra @curiousnikkhil]

@waitin4agi_ I am curious, could you or anyone list a few functions to prevent that?

I think community notes are one of them.

[Nikhil Mishra @curiousnikkhil]

@ShivAroor Jai Hind!

[Nikhil Mishra @curiousnikkhil]

@PIBFactCheck Thank you for the fact checking.
