Startup founders detail indigenous tech progress in meeting with Prime Minister

The gathering at Service Tirth allowed founders of twenty space‑focused startups to present their indigenous achievements to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Companies showcased work on reusable semi‑cryogenic launchers, advanced propulsion systems, satellite communications, avionics, and AI‑driven forecasting tools. They reported that sustained investment over several years has yielded fully Indian‑designed components, reducing dependence on imports. The entrepreneurs thanked the central government for creating a conducive regulatory environment and highlighted the growing enthusiasm among traditional aerospace firms to adopt private‑sector innovations. Modi praised the confidence displayed by these entrepreneurs, noting that it validates the decision to liberalise the space sector and accelerates India’s journey toward becoming a global space technology hub.
