India wants a $44 billion space economy by 2033. Its biggest problem is not money — it is people
- India has 300 space startups and a target to grow its space economy from $8.4 billion today to $44 billion by 2033.
- But the biggest bottleneck is not money — it is people with the right skills to actually build satellites and space systems.

- Startups spend months retraining new hires before they can contribute — slowing innovation and increasing costs across the sector.
