Private sector participation pivotal to space economy: Dr Jitendra Singh

Dr Jitendra Singh said here today that with over 140 Space StartUps within a short span of time, India has gained sound footing and the entire world has begun to acknowledge India’s capabilities and her potential in Space Technology.

Addressing the inaugural session of the G20 4th edition of Space Economy Leaders Meeting (SELM) here today, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the credit goes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi who opened up India’s Space Sector to private players which has enabled a quantum jump in the last few years. Even though India began its Space journey several years later compared to some other countries, yet it is India today which is offering vital clues and inputs for the benefit of world’s leading Space agencies, he said.
