Dear Anil ,

Very interesting article. I remember you had written on this topic earlier also .As you rightly say , S2 aspires to be global, collaborative, inclusive and it embraces the multidimensional nature of human space endeavors. It will help to give India an international voice in critical areas of space policy, exchange of ideas and vision for the future .Let's hope it transforms India into a developed space economy for the future and our share in global space business increases from mere 2 % at present. It's a step in right direction with the private sector responding positively.

Enjoyed watching the launch video and the recommended listening!!

An important development for the future of the country. Once again Anil I have been updated by your timely article. Space is the new frontier of progress and fortunately India is amongst the top five in this field. In fact our ability to deliver at lower costs, will probably enable the country to be very competitive, when the commercial utilization of Space projects and launches, pick up. The private sector could be motivated into investment for research, if the government offers tax benefits on expenditure; thereby utilizing and harnessing the indigenous resources and talent. Innovation and being the first will result in rich divendends.

Thank you Gautam 🙂. You are absolutely right. The good news is that there are already about 40 Indian start-ups. And they are drawing funding support. Unlike before this generation of start-ups are pretty self reliant. Their primary need is policy clarity. Best. Anil
