Careers in Space Start Here! No Herd Mentality | Podcast with Ruchika and Dr Piyali

In this episode of No Herd Mentalality, Ruchika speaks with Dr Piyali, Associate Professor and Chairperson at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics in Bengaluru. With a PhD from IISc and global research experience at TIFR, Nordita in Stockholm, HAO Boulder and the University of Oslo, she breaks down what it really takes to build a future in astrophysics. They explore laboratory astrophysics, solar astrophysics and computational astrophysics while simplifying the academic path from bachelors to PhD, the importance of strong grounding in physics, mathematics, chemistry and computer science and key exams such as JRF, JEST and GATE.

Some important takeaways from the episode
• Essential skills for an astrophysicist include curiosity, mathematical ability, critical thinking, persistence and collaboration
• Career possibilities across ISRO centres, global research teams like Google DeepMind and R and D divisions in companies such as Infosys and TCS
• Opportunities beyond academia including big data roles in finance, space weather forecasting and planetary defence

This episode is the perfect starting point for students and professionals who want clarity on careers in space and the science behind them. Watch this conversation to understand how passion for physics can evolve into a meaningful, future–ready career.
