India's space sector is on the verge of a paradigm shift, but space technology will have to be utilized more commercially to drive economic development. This was said by former Chief of ISRO S Somnath on Thursday.
Speaking at a Confederation of Indian Industry (CII)-organized conference, the former chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) cited reforms that would enable India to utilize space technology to its full capacity.
Somnath clarified that India had made significant progress in space technology but that their campaign had been mostly limited to government initiatives.
