Who are the best Inspiration persons for you in both Personal & Professional Life? What are the lessons you learnt from them?
In personal life – the most inspiration person to me has been Swamy Vivekananda. He instilled in all of us ‘Confidence’ and being ‘Bharateeya’ to core by inspiring nationalism coupled with Spirituality. It always rings in myself what he said; ‘” Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life , dream of it , think of it, live on that idea.”
At professional level they are many who inspired me in different ways such as giants in Space sector – Prof Dhavan ,Prof UR Rao , Dr Kasturi Rangan, Prof Deekashatulu, Dr PS Goyal , Dr VK Saraswat etc. Each had different styles of functioning, various ways of inspiring their colleagues with absolute commitments to cause to make Bharat great.
This reminds me of a Thygaraya KruTti – ‘ ANDARO MAHANUBHAVULU ANDARIKI VANDANAALU’.

Please share your achievements in last one decade to our readers?
Well , in my professional and entrepreneur career , I have many satisfying things happened . Each one of those I call them more as ‘ immensely satisfying’ ones instead of saying ‘achievements’. The fact that we contributed to 98 satellites and to 78 launch Vehicles and contribution to various planetary missions and continue to work for Indian Space programme besides building satellites to meet global demand by creation of entire eco system in Bharat are all considered as very satisfactory both at personal and professional levels.
