I will be very honest with you, see when Indian space sector was privatized it was done so that private players can help ISRO or atleast provide a push. Cut to today, what we did, we targetted small Leo satellites ( on which very soon enough international snactions will be applied, only a fixed number of satellites per year to LEO. ). Our workhorse, the Indian flagship launch vehicle PSLV was doing the job to send small sats to Leo very well. It was a very crucial element for isro to be profitable. When private players entered the small sat division they indirectly pushed ISRO to develop SSLV so that they don't run out of bussiness. SSLV took a significant portion of time, money and facilities that could have been used for other missions or to make a bigger launch vehicle. See the thing is small sat launch vehicles makes sense for countries like USA, UK, Germany, France, Indonesia, Australia and so on, because half of these countries don't have any launch vehicle and USA have a very capable fleet of heavy and medium launch vehicles, where the wait time is quiet significant, these people used to come to ISRO but now ISRO itself have competition. You get what I am saying right ? We didn't pushed our space program forward, we dragged it. What we need is something big.

The way they are working and going ahead, i know for sure that they have already exhausted their funds and it will be very hard for them to break even the investment and start a new project.

Ya'll Nibbiars but most of the funding will come from FDI investors for such deep tech start ups. And now I am waery of such after seeing the Russian episodes. And hope most of your funding is from domestic investors.

Ya'll Nibbiars getting 100 crores is not enough for a MSLV.

Even today indian clowns question why we are investing money in ISRO. Gaganyaan was a disaster, it's nothing but a political show for 2024 elections nothing else.

ISRO asked for around ~5billion usd budget they got less than ~1.9 b usd and in that they wanted to do everything Gaganyaan, HLV, next generation of GSLV, MOM-2, CY-3, aditya l1. This retarded government literally destroyed ISRO, we lost 8 fucking years, 8 years and trying to scuttle around and sce200 is nowhere to be seen.

Also, ISRO wanted different launchpad for HSF and now they are tinkering with SLP or FLP? I don't know much about them. They are tinkering with GSLV too.

HLVs are cheaper when it comes to per kg price many a times, soon starship will make everything moot.

Even for private players it is okay if they start with SLVs but they should not hope for profit because you will not survive, market is already saturated enough. You need to quickly move up in the foodchain, i like ballatrix because they didn't follow the hoard they went for service sector for the sats and launchers. We need more service providers like Starlink equivalent, that imaging stuff all of that can be handled by private players.

It's such a sad affair that we don't have good private satellite manufacturers which could tie up with gio for sat internet, they brought foreign company for that service.

SSLV is already too late but let's see, it's an experiment from ISRO's side only if they can somehow speed the production up by sharing the know how to private players we can hope something, lazy attitude with PSLV and GSLV with lack of funding and retards in charge have already done the damage. 8 fucking years, 8 years have been lost due to jokers who can't come out of their jumla phase. Now ukraine is invaded, God bless us all cuz i don't know what we are doing.

I don't have any hope from ISRO, let's see what private players do.

This is also the failure of the GOI, china supports their startup but we didn't that's why our startups couldn't lap up the opportunities that were provided in Russia. Koo should have started supporting the russian language, fuckers took the funding did nothing.

Kikes are already taking control over our private companies, nothing remains sacred from them.

Ya'll Nibbiars wouldn't be suprised if such start ups eventually take by some foreign fund.

Ya'll Nibbiars hope majority of the promoters of such firms remains domestic and not foreign owned. This is a strategic sector not some retail start ups.

They will need to get funds from somewhere right? One good thing i saw was that the news of Mahindra investing in Agnikul. More than tatas i feel he is doing better in investing our new comers.

Reliance should fund any of their selected startups, few hundred millions is nothing for them but for startups it can be life savers and if lucky it will be a great and wise decision businesswise too eventually.

I feel afraid of woke virus, it destroyed ASTRA of USA more or less, they got into woke signaling and starting waving BLM flags instead of focusing on their rockets and they literally got sued by their customers after failed launches.

Me and Manu were very clear on this point since the beginning,we are closing our first round of funding next month, all of our funds are from India. Can't disclose the amount yet but it is the biggest seed fund any startup have raised so far almost ten times what other space startups have raised overall in 3 funding rounds
