Pawan Kumar Chandana? He took ₹40,000 a month at ISRO. Why? Because he saw something others didn’t; a blank canvas for space innovation in India. While peers signed offer letters from Silicon Valley, he signed up for early mornings, complex equations, and a mission bigger than salary. That decision didn’t just shape his career; it birthed Skyroot Aerospace. His message? Don’t wait for perfect conditions. The best opportunities hide where everyone else sees risk. Today, Skyroot is leading India’s private space race; and it all started with a choice most would’ve walked away from. If you’re building something bold, remember: early movers don’t just catch waves; they create them.
