Chandana discusses why he left ISRO to build India’s first deep-tech unicorn, how private space firms can complement India’s space programme, & why reusable rockets & AI could transform the economics of space. He also shares his advice for entrepreneurs, students and engineers looking to build India’s next rocket company.

Nine Years, Made Possible by Readers

In 2017, Shekhar Gupta started ThePrint with a simple belief: Indian readers want journalism that asks why and what next, not just what. And that enough of them would be willing to pay for good journalism.

Nine years on, that belief has held.

And, in these nine years, we’ve stayed true to our mission. We’ve been asking the follow-up questions, going beyond the headlines and explaining what’s actually happening. We’ve travelled across the country to bring you in-depth, visually-compelling stories from the ground.

It’s been nine years of readers choosing to make this possible. If you’d like to be one of them:
