Is India ready to become a global launch powerhouse in the commercial space economy? Can a startup truly make rocket launches as accessible as booking a cab?
On this episode of Young Turks Reloaded, rocket maker Skyroot Aerospace's CEO Pawan K. Chandana joins Shereen Bhan to discuss the massive opportunities, engineering marvels and intense grit behind India’s private space tech revolution.
The Skyroot Aerospace co-founder breaks down their disruptive "Cab-to-Space" model, explaining how they are building orbital-class rockets with carbon-fibre composite structures to target the surging global small-satellite market. Having recently made history as India's first space tech unicorn with a valuation of $1.1 Billion, Pawan pushes past the valuation hype to focus on what really matters: flawless engineering and building a profitable, scalable business.
From raising capital in deep tech and managing a lean, paranoid team of exceptional young engineers, to utilising ISRO’s world-class facilities and navigating the shift from government red tape to red carpet, Pawan Chandana lays out a fascinating roadmap for the future of Indian aerospace.
He explains why failure must remain an option in rocket science, how Skyroot achieved over 90% localization to build a truly Atmanirbhar rocket, and why he believes that if steel built modern civilization, space will build the future civilisation.
