Sriharikota: Indian Space Research Organisation
Indian space tech startups are now hiring experienced professionals, including former ISRO scientists and business experts, to accelerate growth and expand globally.
This shift reflects the sector’s maturing commercial potential and growing technological advancements.
Notably, startups are focusing on leadership hires beyond technical roles. They aim to improve investor relations, streamline product development, and reduce market time.
For instance, Digantara CEO Anirudh Sharma said the company has hired a VP of engineering and an AVP of space systems, both with over 15 years of ISRO experience. This ensures deep technical expertise.
Additionally, Digantara hired a chief financial officer from a business-to-consumer company to strengthen financial strategy and scalability.
Moreover, startups are also hiring from top aerospace firms and setting up teams in Europe and the US to meet growing demand for space technology.
They have recruited senior talent from Tata Advanced Systems, L&T, Tata Boeing Aerospace, HAL, DRDO, ISRO, IISc, and IIT Bombay to boost technical and operational strength.
Meanwhile, GalaxEye, preparing for its Drishti Mission, is focusing on hiring for strategic roles.
“Senior expertise will help us establish ourselves and boost revenue,” said founder Suyash Singh.
Similarly, N Space Tech recently hired Madhumita Chakravarti from DRDO for R&D. Her innovations have been deployed by the Indian Air Force and Army.
“Experienced leaders bring industry knowledge and investor confidence,” said founder Divya Kothamasu.
Furthermore, Indian space tech startups now attract experienced professionals with competitive salaries and global exposure. Santosh Tiwari, partner at EY-Parthenon India, said the private sector’s agility and better cost of living make India an attractive market for senior talent.
In conclusion, startups aim to transition from innovation to becoming commercially viable and globally competitive.
