India's Space Sector Grows Amid Talent Shortages and Launch Capacity Challenges
India's space sector is rapidly expanding, with private startups playing a growing role alongside ISRO. The government projects the space economy to reach $100 billion by 2040, driven by increased private investment and innovation. However, challenges remain, including a shortage of skilled talent in specialized areas and limited launch capacity. Efforts to address these gaps include new SpaceTech courses, industry-academia collaborations, and expanding launch infrastructure with additional pads and facilities under development.
