@kiranshaw built one of India's defining biotechnology companies and helped shape an entire industry through @Bioconlimited. In this episode of Changemakers, we have Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw in conversation with @VaniKola about what it takes to build an enduring company, why India needs to think far bigger about scale, and why investing in talent and research is essential to building the next generation of science-led companies.

India’s space story is entering a fundamentally different era. As we mark #NationalSpaceDay, it’s remarkable how far India’s space ecosystem has come — with a new generation of ambitious companies building at the frontier. Great to see @Digantarahq founders meet PM @narendramodi alongside India’s space entrepreneurs — a moment backed by years of building, deep conviction and the ambition to take on some of the hardest problems that matter to the nation. @anirudhnsharma @TanC53 @INSPACeIND
Built in India. Built for deterrence. 🇮🇳 Our founders presented Digantara’s Gen 2 optical payload to Hon’ble Prime Minister @narendramodi, built for Space Domain Awareness and now advancing towards missile defence. After hearing about what it could do, he smiled and asked, “Is this for me? Then I’m keeping this.” A moment our team will remember for a long time. The Prime Minister’s curiosity and depth of interest in what we were building was remarkable. It is this belief in Indian technology and its builders that has made this an extraordinary time to build for India. @INSPACeIND

The ability to see and understand what is happening in orbit is becoming as consequential as our ability to reach it. With activity in space accelerating, the infrastructure for persistent, independent and intelligent space awareness must evolve with it. @Digantarahq's MOSAIC brings together wide-area optical sensing, edge computing and AI to track hundreds of objects simultaneously - rethinking how space domain awareness can operate at scale. This is the kind of innovation we believe in at Kalaari - first-principles thinking applied to consequential problems, creating sovereign capabilities from India, for the world. @anirudhnsharma @TanC53
India gets new eyes on orbit. 🇮🇳 Introducing MOSAIC, our AI-powered Wide Area Sensing Architecture, built to search, detect and track hundreds of objects simultaneously, turning observations into orbital intelligence. Mobile. Autonomous. Built in India for the scale of modern space operations. Happy Independence Day!

Kalaari Capital retweeted
At seven, Saurya Mishra took apart his grandfather’s alarm clock. At 23, he built his first X-ray machine at Philips. Its first patient was an 18-month-old baby in a village in China, an image he still keeps with him. Years later, after observing surgeons stretched thin in Cuttack and the lack of access to advanced healthcare, Saurya’s vision grew much firmer. Today, his company reimagines and builds surgical robotic systems that enable surgeons, expand access to advanced procedures, and provide better surgical outcomes to more patients. From an alarm clock to surgical robots, this is the story of how one engineer turned childhood curiosity into a mission for better surgery and national self-reliance.

The Earth Observation sector is an 80B$ opportunity with just about 6B$ being captured. We spent months going deep into this sector and we believe that it’s perfect time to build in EO. Read our Report about EO to learn more. Link below.
