Modi's visionary plan to open up space sector a true game changer : ISpA
Backed by progressive reforms such as the Space Policy, liberal FDI push and strong government support, the industry has grown multi-fold in just five years, ISpA Director General Lt Gen AK Bhatt (retd) said.
"The surge in space startups and their achievements reflects an unprecedented wave of innovation and ambition among our youth", he said.
"With this momentum, we are confident of achieving the goal of USD 44 billion space economy by 2033 and cementing India's position among the world's leading spacefaring nations. This is not just growth, it's a national movement inspiring every Indian to aim higher and reach for the stars', he added.

Story of washing powder Nirma: Once worth Rs 17000 crore, ruled Indian market; Nirma sank due to just one mistake
Nirma brand story How did Nirma washing powder fail: If you are someone who was born in 1980s or even 1990s, you must have heard about the brand Nirma. Once a household name in India, Nirma washing powder brand rose to fame in the 1980s and 90s with its catchy 'Washing Powder Nirma' jingle and affordable pricing strategies. Founded by Karsanbhai Patel in the year 1969, the brand was named after his late daughter Nirupama. The affordable washing powder brand brand quickly became the first choice of housewives due to its washing effectiveness and unmatchable pricing. However, due to a mistake, the whole Rs 17,000 crore empire of Nirma washing powder came down crashing. How popular was Nirma washing powder? Once the most popular washing powder brand of India, Nirma captured nearly 60% of the detergent market at its peak by offering quality cleaning at low cost. When the company was at its peak, famous Bollywood actresses like Hema Malini, Reena Roy, Sridevi and Sonali Bendre were shown endorsing the product, which made it more and more popular across the homes of India. How did Nirma washing powder's market crash? The massive success of Karsanbhai Patel's Nirma brand was driven by smart strategies like a money-back guarantee, emotional advertising, and brand endorsements by Bollywood stars. However, due to the entry of multinational brands like Surf Excel, Ariel, and Tide by the late 1990s and 2000s with modern packaging, advanced stain-removal formulas, and aggressive marketing, Nirma's downfall started as it failed to innovate or upgrade its product range for the Indian households. One more reason that is given by experts about the fall of Nirma washing powder is the fact that while its competitors were introducing new product variants and better quality, the company stuck to its classic product, leading to its downfall and market share collapse.

US keeps daily tabs on India-Pakistan, says Marco Rubio
New York | Washington: The US keeps "an eye" on what's happening between India and Pakistan "every single day" as ceasefires can fall apart very quickly, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency "...the only way to have a ceasefire is for both sides to agree to stop firing at one another. And the Russians just haven't agreed to that. Beyond that, I would say that one of the complications about ceasefires is they have to be maintained, which is very difficult. I mean, every single day we keep an eye on what's happening between Pakistan and India, what's happening between Cambodia and Thailand," Rubio said. "Ceasefires can fall apart very quickly, especially after a three-and-a-half-year war (in Ukraine) like what we're facing now, but I don't think anyone disagrees that the ideal here, what we're aiming for is not some permanent ceasefire. What we're aiming for here is a peace deal so there's not a war now and there's not a war in the future," Rubio said in an interview to NBC News Meet The Press. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Undo In a separate interview with Fox Business , Rubio again mentioned the recent conflict between India and Pakistan that President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed he solved. "And I think we are very fortunate and blessed and should be thankful to have a President who has made peace and the achievement of peace a priority of his administration. We've seen it in Cambodia and Thailand. We've seen it in India-Pakistan. We've seen it in Rwanda and the DRC. And we're going to continue to pursue any opportunities we can find to bring about peace in the world," Rubio said. Live Events
