Today, India is home to fewer than 20 startups and companies exclusively work in a modest but growing private space sector. Till date, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been the single biggest competitor in the nation's space industry, but this could change in the near future. 

The government announced a new organisation – InSPACe – dedicated to simplifying and encouraging the participation of companies in commercial space activity in India.   

We spoke to space engineer & entrepreneur Yashas Karanam (Bellatrix Aerospace) and space lawyer Ashok G V (Factum Law) about whether the formation of InSPACe could unlock the potential of Indian space companies and give them the license to dream big.

Perhaps even touch the moon and stars?
