Meeting the Visionary: Omspace Connects with ISRO Chairman Dr. V. Narayanan at IAC 2025 Sydney

The International Astronautical Congress (IAC) 2025 in Sydney has been a whirlwind of innovation, policy discussions, and global networking. But for Omspace Rocket & Exploration, one moment stood out above the rest a meeting that was less about business and more about profound inspiration.

We were incredibly honoured to meet and interact with the Chairman of ISRO, Dr. V. Narayanan, a leader whose work has defined the modern era of Indian space exploration.

More Than Just an Interaction

For a private space startup like Omspace, crossing paths with the head of India's national space agency is a significant milestone. However, as our CEO, Dr. Ravindra Raj BM, shared, this meeting was "more than just an interaction it was an inspiration."

Dr. Narayanan is a giant in the field, known for his pivotal role in developing India's cryogenic engine technology. Yet, standing beside him, what resonated most was his humility. It is this blend of technical brilliance and grounded leadership that makes him such a revered figure in the global aerospace community.

Fueling the Dream of Reusable Space Technology

The conversation served as a powerful catalyst for our mission at Omspace. Validating our path with a leader of Dr. Narayanan's caliber strengthens our resolve. It fuels our core dream: making India a global leader in reusable space technology.

As the industry shifts towards sustainable and cost-effective access to space, the synergy between national agencies like ISRO and private innovators like Omspace becomes critical. This meeting at IAC 2025 symbolizes that shared future where government experience meets startup agility to push the boundaries of what's possible.

A United Vision for India in Space

Standing in Sydney, thousands of miles from home, the connection to our national roots felt stronger than ever. This moment was a reminder that we are all working towards a common goal: elevating India's stature in the cosmos.

With the blessings and inspiration of leaders like Dr. V. Narayanan, Omspace is more committed than ever to our journey. The future of Indian spaceflight is bright, collaborative, and reusable.
