Mr. Arpan Sahoo, COO and Co-founder, KaleidEO
“India continues to remain the third-largest tech start-up ecosystem in the world, with over 950 tech businesses established last year. The government has been propelling the growth of the industry with various schemes such as Startup India, Atal Innovation Mission, and more. Entrepreneurship is the catalyst for innovation, and in the realm of space technology, it’s the driving force that propels us beyond the known frontier. The convergence of space technology with cutting-edge advancements like AI and edge computing is unlocking new possibilities for sustainable development and global impact for society. As the space tech ecosystem continues to evolve, entrepreneurs in this sector have a unique opportunity to create solutions that not only drive progress but also address some of the world’s most pressing challenges like financial inclusion, sustainable infrastructure, food security and climate action,
I encourage all innovators to embrace the unknown, take calculated risks, without compromising on value creation and sustainability. Together, we can chart a new path in the cosmos and empower the next generation of pioneers. At KaleidEO, we believe that the sky is not the limit—it’s just the beginning. Our journey in the space tech industry has taught us that resilience, vision, and a commitment to pushing boundaries to create a positive impact are the pillars of success.”
