“India’s space journey has two defining moments: Vikram Sarabhai starting the space programme in the 1960s and PM Modi unlocking the sector to private players in 2020." - Pawan Kumar Chandana
On National Space Day, Skyroot Aerospace CEO breaks down how PM Modi’s support wiped out every regulatory bottleneck, inspiring Indian space startups to aim for the orbit.
Watch how history was made!

"PM Modi understands technology better than anyone else.
He knows the gaps, opportunities and even the deepest technical aspects. He questions: How is it manufactured? What techniques are used? What materials are used?
He once identified ground systems and infra as one of the biggest gaps in India’s space ecosystem. That level of technical curiosity of PM Modi is what transformed Indian space sector."
-- Pawan Kumar Chandana, CEO of Skyroot Aerospace (Vikram-1)

Space Startup CEOs:
- The Govt is forward looking
- We cherish the backing Govt gave to us
- PM Modi was more interested in knowing how common citizens can enter to this field.
PM Modi first opened India’s space sector to private participation in 2020 and now he is on a mission to democratise it totally.
Indian space policy 2023, space venture fund, tech adoption fund... PM Modi providing it all.
Our youths should now show courage and come forward. The world awaits for working with them and their tech.
You cannot go to Kargil and shout at our men in uniform that I pay taxes.
Go and tell that to mother of Captain Vikram Batra. She will ask you to take your money and give her son back 💔
Destroyed the Cockroach mindset.
Take a bow @smritiirani 🔥
India no longer looks at space merely with wonder. We reach for it with confidence.
From the brilliance of our scientists to the audacity of our startups and young innovators, India’s space journey embodies a nation that dreams boldly, innovates fearlessly and delivers at scale.
On #NationalSpaceDay, we salute the minds pushing the frontiers of science and carrying the aspirations of 1.4 billion Indians beyond the skies.
The sky was never the limit. It was only the beginning.

In 2005, India couldn’t meet 12.3% of its own peak demand. By 2007, the shortfall had widened to nearly 16.6%, and close to 18,000 megawatts were unavailable.
India today draws 52% of its electricity from non-fossil sources. More than half of every unit generated comes from the sun, water, wind, or nuclear.
The deficit percentage, which once sat stubbornly above 10%, has now collapsed. Since 2024, it has been effectively zero.
Electricity reliability is, in the end, a quiet form of equity. When the grid is unreliable, those with money buy backup. Those without simply go without. India's closing of its power deficit means that the gap no longer falls along economic lines.
The country that once rationed darkness now delivers light on demand, at the moment of highest need, to everyone connected to the grid.
India’s economic story has two very different chapters.
India’s GDP per capita fell from 35.2% of the EMDE average in 2003 to 27.8% in 2013.
Since 2014, that trajectory has reversed.
India reached 37.2% of the EMDE average in 2026 and is projected to reach 46.2% by 2031.
The EMDE group itself comprises 150+ emerging markets and developing economies, representing roughly 85% of the world’s population.
So this is not simply India growing in isolation. It is India steadily closing the gap with the broader developing world.
The lost decade was followed by a decade of catch-up.
Relevance has no retirement age.
If Tukaram Omble had looked at his age at 54, he wouldn’t have tried to catch Ajmal Kasab. He would have said, ‘Let somebody from Gen Z come and catch the terrorist.’
That is not how institutions work.
What is going on with sugar prices, and why are we importing sugar for the first time in ten years?
A lot of misinformation on this subject on X since this morning, so here's a short thread. Yes, we are importing a million tonnes worth of sugar-first time in ten years- but...
🛤️ Major capacity upgrade for India’s East Coast railway network!
410 km of multitracking projects across 4 states will mean more capacity, smoother freight movement and better passenger connectivity.
The Union Cabinet, under the leadership of the PM Shri @narendramodi Ji, has decided to set up a bench of the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir in Ladakh. This will significantly enhance access to justice for citizens living in remote areas of Ladakh by reducing the time required to avail themselves of the legal services they are entitled to. The Govt is fully committed to the all-round development of Ladakh and to ensuring constitutional safeguards.
