Skyroot's Pawan Chandana on Rockets and India's Space Revolution

Skyroot's Pawan Chandana on Rockets and India's Space Revolution

Pawan Chandana, the founder of Skyroot, explains that his company's approach to space launches is different from SpaceX.

He says Skyroot is like a cab service, offering customized, on-demand launches to specific locations in space.

In contrast, SpaceX is like a train service, launching multiple satellites into common orbits.

This means that if you need to go to a specific place in space, you would book a cab (Skyroot), but if you're okay with going to a common orbit, you would book a train (SpaceX).
