The launch of the Indian Space Association signals a partnership role for private companies in India's plans to recast the space ecosystem. EPISODE #45
Its great to read about new developments taking place in the country besides the murky politics.After years of missed opportunities, the govt of India has finally opened doors to the vast untapped opportunities of private sector participation in our space program . The far reaching reforms in the space sector in the entire range of space activities will help to make India self reliant in space technology.. It will also attract foreign investment in the satellite communication sector.. We need to create a flexible, technology neutral and competitive regime, keeping in mind the international developments and social and economic needs of the country.
Dear Vandana, thank you for your kind remarks and for being such a solid support to this newsletter. Grateful. Agree with you that we need an ecosystem which encourages enterprise. And not discourage them. Maybe the space policy is the starting point. Best. Anil
Very encouraging development and I am indebted to this weekly column from Anil, as it keeps me abreast of developments, which otherwise may have come to my notice much later. The decision to involve the private sector in this high tech field is perhaps with a foresight for a far more rapid development in the field, as it will mobilise greater financial and intellectual capital. After all technology is also a race for who has it first. Further, with the existing threat of military attacks from space in the future, India cannot afford to be left behind.
Dear Gautam, Thank you so much for your kind words and comments. Much appreciated. Agree with you. Wish these changes had come sooner though. Guess, better late than never. Best. Anil
