R VIKRAM SARABHAI, the father of India’s space programme, defied scepticism and limited resources to establish ISRO. Despite challenges, he founded ISRO in 1969 and secured funding for India’s first satellite in 1975
His legacy lives on through ISRO’s achievements, proving that with unwavering determination, even a developing nation can excel in space exploration. The Indian Space Research Organisation went on to achieve numerous milestones, including the Chandrayaan and Mangalyaan missions to the moon and mars. On 23 August at 18:03 IST Chandrayaan-3 touched down making India the fourth country to land on the moon successfully, and the first to do so near the Lunar South Pole.

ECONOMY'S HIDDEN HAND: STREET IS BOOMING BUT THE BOARDROOM IS NOT
EIGHT-POINT-TWO per cent. India's economy has rarely looked stronger: growth is among the quickest anywhere, quarterly numbers keep beating expectations, and the India-decade narrative grows louder. Yet inside corporate boardrooms, the soundtrack is different. On earnings calls, optimism is muted and demand signals remain uneven. The GDP is sprinting, but the consumer is not, an FMCG chief quipped. The contradiction is stark: national output surges while corporate India clears its throat.

DECODING THE CAPITAL MARKETS
AS WE STEP INTO 2026, the moment seems opportune to pause, reflect and take stock of one of the most animated corners of India's capital markets - the initial public offering (IPO) space. In this issue, we examine the forces shaping the primary markets, the lessons investors are learning the hard way and the questions that will determine how capital is raised. By any measure, 2025 was a blockbuster year for India's primary markets. More than 100 IPOs hit the bourses, together raising over Rs 1.7 lakh crore. From marquee, brand-led mainboard issues to a surge in SME listings, the pipeline barely paused. Strong domestic liquidity, record retail participation and a steady mutual fund bid ensured that most offerings sail through the subscription phase, often with eye-catching demand multiples. On the surface, it appeared to be a golden period for entrepreneurship and raising capital.

Al Ambition to Accountable Execution
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY'S (IT'S) 2026 inflection point in India will be less about chasing Artificial Intelligence (AI) hype and more about proving industrial-scale execution. The conversation has clearly moved beyond pilots to production, forcing companies to confront uncomfortable truths around cost discipline, governance and talent depth. Outcome-based pricing, platformised delivery and deeper hyperscaler partnerships point to a maturing services model, but they also raise the stakes. Vendors can no longer hide behind effort metrics when value is under scrutiny.

Escaping Data Caves
DEEP INSIDE THE underground water systems of Oman's Al Hoota Cave, lives nature's fascinating oddity, the Oman Garra cave fish - a fish that's blind and has no colour. Since their eyes are completely covered with eyelids, they make their way around obstacles in the cave by puckering their mouth and creating short bursts of suction. The Oman Garra cave fish evolved thus to survive in pitch-dark caves with little oxygen.

TEN YEARS AFTER PARIS AGREEMENT: India's Trillion-Dollar Balancing Act
A DECADE AFTER the Paris Agreement was adopted, climate ambition has reached its ‘test decade’. It began in 2015 as an international accord to rein in emissions, has turned into a restructuring of economies. The discourse has changed from temperature goals to just transition plans, from accounting for emissions to allocating capital. India, which was one day making the case for carbon space, is now designing the very architecture of low-carbon growth. Energy transition has become the country’s second economic reform.
