E49: Dr. Susmita Mohanty - Exploring space missions beyond NASA

As someone who has a keen interest in space, I'm very excited to finally feature Dr. Susmita Mohanty, spaceship designer and a serial space entrepreneur, who started India's first private space startup, Earth2Orbit - at a time when the Indian space industry didn't welcome private players. She had also previously founded MoonFront and LIQUIFER, worked briefly with NASA & Boeing and as a climate activist, visited both the Artic & Antarctica on invitation. A protégée of Arthur C. Clarke, she has been featured in numerous publications such as Fortune, Vogue and Bloomberg. Dr. Susmita has now started India's first space think thank, Spaceport SARABHAI. As ISRO is solidifying its global presence and more private players are coming up in India, she shares interesting insights on how we need to steer the global space narrative to focus on explorations done in the Eastern hemisphere.
