Somanath S., has just joined a space startup; and it’s not just any move. He’s now an observer on the board of Agnikul Cosmos, right as the company gears up for Mission 02; a bold attempt to recover a rocket booster and turn its upper stage into an orbital platform. Think about that: the man who led Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya-L1 is now backing a private team trying to redefine rocket reuse in India. His words? “This is a genuine technical frontier.” For young engineers dreaming of space, this isn’t just news; it’s a signal. The Indian space ecosystem is evolving fast, and the big players are now betting on the startups. If you’re preparing for space-related government jobs, this isn’t just inspiration; it’s strategy. The future isn’t just in ISRO. It’s in the ecosystem around it. And Somanath’s move? That’s a compass.
