Join the New York Space Business Roundtable for an engaging event - the first in a series of conversations highlighting the push and pull relationship between commercial space and governments.

India is rapidly transforming its space sector, moving from a government-led model dominated by ISRO to a new era of public-private collaboration and global engagement. Recent policy reforms—including liberalized FDI caps, the launch of IN-SPACe as a commercial regulator, and the Indian Space Policy 2023—are opening doors for private enterprise and international investment. At the same time, Indian companies are stepping into global supply chains, developing satellite constellations, launch vehicles, and Earth observation capabilities that are redefining India’s position in the global space economy. Yet, foreign participation still requires careful navigation of regulatory, legal, and strategic frameworks shaped by India's evolving priorities.

This session of the New York Space Business Roundtable brings together leaders from Pixxel, Dhruva Space, TMT Law Practice, VegaMX, the US-India Business Council, and others for a candid conversation about opportunity, access, and alignment. Our first session will be informative, lively, and engaging, welcoming both in-person and online audiences. But you'll want to be in the room for the second half, when we shift to a Chatham House Rules format for an off-the-record discussion of the real opportunities and challenges in navigating India’s space market.
