ISRO Tightens Exit Rules Amid Scientist Resignations and Private Space Growth
India's space sector is evolving as over 100 scientists and engineers have resigned from ISRO, prompting the Department of Space to tighten exit rules for personnel involved in key missions like Gaganyaan. This shift coincides with the rise of private space companies such as Skyroot Aerospace, which recently launched India's first privately built rocket. While this talent movement poses challenges for ISRO's flagship projects, it also reflects the growth and liberalization of India's space ecosystem, with experienced personnel contributing to private ventures.
