Swarna Builds People Behind India’s Private Space Revolution

Swarna leads the team that helps Skyroot Aerospace find and support its workers.

She overcame pressure to marry when she was 18 and continued her education and career.

Skyroot has more than 1,000 employees, many of them young engineers.

The company is building rockets and preparing for more launches.

It wants engineers who can solve real problems, not just score well in school.

Skyroot gives young employees responsibility, mentoring and chances to work on real hardware.

Swarna says people from many fields can work in space, not only aerospace graduates.

She encourages students to build projects, learn from failures and keep improving.

She believes India can become a major space power if companies, schools and the government develop talent together.
