Exclusive interview-Srimathy Kesan, Founder & CEO of SpaceKidz and the world’s only woman founder to have built and launched 27 space missions

Dr. Srimathy Kesan, Founder & CEO of SpaceKidz India—the world’s only woman founder to have built and launched 27 space missions.
From creating KALAMSAT, the world’s lightest satellite launched by NASA, to delivering five orbital satellites with ISRO, along with suborbital and high-altitude balloon missions, she has rewritten the rules of who can dream—and build—in space.

A pioneer who has taken students especially young girls from classrooms to the cosmos, Kesan is also the first Indian woman to experience zero-gravity flight, alongside legends like Astronaut Charles Duke, Apollo mission pioneer Poppy Northcutt, Richard Garriott, and Christina Korp.
