In Conversation with Lakshminarasimhan Sundarrajan — AWS Aerospace & Satellite Specialist

India’s SpaceTech Momentum: Lakshminarasimhan S. on PPP Constellations, Cybersecurity, EO Data & the Next Decade of Space Innovation
In this conversation with Nidhi Pathak (Sr. Marketing Manager, SatSure),
Lakshminarasimhan Sundarrajan — a seasoned Space & Satcom professional with 20+ years of experience across AWS, Kacific, MEASAT, and Bharti Airtel — reflects on the rapid transformation of India’s space ecosystem and his long association with SatSure.
With deep experience in satellite communications, broadband, ground systems, constellation operations, and cybersecurity, Lakshmi shares his perspective on:
How India’s space economy shifted from being government-led to a thriving public–private ecosystem
Why the IN-SPACe PPP constellation, where SatSure is a consortium member, is a global-first model
The massive surge in CubeSats, sensors, and petabyte-scale EO data
Why cybersecurity must evolve alongside satellite and EO expansion
How security, when done right, enables scale instead of slowing it down
India’s first-of-its-kind constellation design that integrates SAR + Optical + Hyperspectral sensors
EO’s growing impact on agriculture, defence intelligence, mineral detection, national security, and environmental resilience
How GenAI + EO will reshape precision agriculture, early-warning systems, and decision intelligence
India’s rising talent pool — from school students doing cybersecurity to 23-year-old founders building space-tech startups
The cultural shift from “doctor/engineer” to problem solvers & entrepreneurs
Lakshmi also reflects on SatSure’s approach, his experience collaborating with the team, and why trust, clarity of problem statements, and customer-first execution define real innovation.
