The United States remains the world leader in space, but India has a realistic shot at claiming the third position, according to Bellatrix Aerospace COO. China outspends India significantly, yet New Delhi holds an advantage in trust and reliability among global partners, the executive said.
Trust is built on India's proven record of low-cost, high-reliability missions like Mangalyaan and Chandrayaan. The country now has over 100 space startups, with private investment growing rapidly.

Watch for the upcoming launch of the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) as a key signal of private-sector momentum.
