"India's ISRO: Transforming Space Exploration through Social Media and Private Partnerships"

India's space agency, ISRO, is undergoing a transformation to become more transparent and open in order to attract young scientists, startups, investors, and private industry partners. The agency's recent success in landing a rover on the moon's south pole has garnered attention and increased interest in the country's space industry. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for ISRO to make India a profitable space superpower, and the government aims to increase India's share of the global commercial space market from 2% to $40 billion by 2040. The agency's efforts to engage the next generation and foster partnerships with the private sector are seen as crucial for achieving these goals.
