India's Near-Space Frontier Starts here...
Explore Red Balloon Aerospace
I am an materials scientist and entrepreneur building India's first integrated near-space infrastructure company. My work spans over two decades: from nanocomposites & electron microscopy in Germany, to ISRO's launch vehicle materials,
to India's first private rockets at Skyroot, to the stratosphere.
Red Balloon Aerospace is what all of it was building toward.
