Better Satellite World: India Rising – Building Bridges in the Global Space Economy
Manage episode 485735995 series 2381799
In this Better Satellite World podcast, based on the May 2025 edition of the New York Space Business Roundtable, leaders from Pixxel, Dhruva Space, TMT Law Practice, VegaMX, and the US-India Business Council have a candid conversation about opportunity, access, and alignment in India's rapidly growing space sector. Our speakers include:
- Chetan Bikkina, Chief Commercial Officer, Dhruva Space Private Limited
- Jay Gullish, Executive Director, Digital Policy, U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC)
- Abhishek Malhotra, Senior Advocate, Chamber of Abhishek Malhotra
- Vivek Mital, CEO, VegaMX Inc.
- Aakash Parekh, Chief Commercial Officer, Pixxel
India is rapidly transforming its space sector, moving from a government-led model dominated by ISRO to a new era of public-private collaboration and global engagement. Recent policy reforms - including liberalized FDI caps, the launch of IN-SPACe as a commercial regulator, and the Indian Space Policy 2023 - are opening doors for private enterprise and international investment. At the same time, Indian companies are stepping into global supply chains, developing satellite constellations, launch vehicles, and Earth observation capabilities that are redefining India's position in the global space economy. Yet, foreign participation still requires careful navigation of regulatory, legal, and strategic frameworks shaped by India's evolving priorities.
