Dr. Anand Megalingam, CEO of Space Zone India, was selected for a U.S. State Dept. program with NASA training, one of 23 experts.
Space Zone India successfully launched RHUMI-H, India's first reusable hybrid rocket from a mobile platform, followed by the RHUMI-1 mission gaining international recognition.
The company is preparing the RHUMI Twin Mission to launch two rockets simultaneously from Chennai and is seeking strategic investors and defence partnerships.
Megalingam’s journey from a rural tractor‑driver’s family to a gold‑medalist aeronautical engineer underscores resilience and highlights India’s emerging private aerospace sector.
