About

Can a dropout become a rocket scientist? Can a man who once lived in a hut, dream of launching a rocket? Can an ordinary salaried man become an entrepreneur? That is my story. I had to walk 6km to school every day when I was a little boy, and I eventually lost interest in studies when I joined a department that was not my cup of tea. But then destiny had other plans. I rose again, joined as an Aeronautical Engineer, and started our own company to make an impact, to inspire people. I wanted to show the world that even a normal boy can make the nation proud, just like how Abdul Kalam Sir did. I started a company called Space Zone India, and we launched our India's First Hybrid Rocket. Now, we are on a mission to launch India's First Mobile Rocket Launch. I'm seeking investors for my space company. If you're interested, please send me a DM or reach out to me at anand@spacezoneindia.com.
