Indian creators generated approximately $2.5 billion on YouTube in the last three years, highlighting the platform's significant economic impact.

In fields like innovation, entrepreneurship, and startups, Indians are achieving extraordinary results, as demonstrated by the opening of the space sector to private companies, resulting in 200 startups working in space technology.

Reducing the cost of access to orbit is crucial for enabling a new era of space exploration and innovation.

The advantage of building a startup in India is the incredible talent available, which is often underestimated.

The success of Indian creators on YouTube reflects the enormous potential of the creative industry in India, which is rapidly evolving and gaining recognition globally. Four out of five Indians are on YouTube, with billions of hours of content being created and consumed, showcasing the vibrancy of the creator economy in India.

The cost of launching payloads into orbit has drastically decreased from $50,000 per kilogram to as low as $10 to $20 with advancements like SpaceX's Starship.

Astranis built a test satellite during YC for under $50,000, demonstrating that it's possible to launch a satellite without the typical high costs associated with such projects.

Despite the high costs associated with space, Astranis managed to build their spacecraft in a small apartment using basic infrastructure, showcasing that significant resources aren't always necessary.

Every time I return to India, I'm amazed at the growth of the Indian creative economy, and I believe we are just getting started.
