EXCLUSIVE: Grahaa CEO on Signing Deals After Rocket Fails & Live Orbital Video

When Grahaa Space's rocket failed, Ramesh Kumar V signed a customer deal anyway, because the business case for live orbital video does not depend on which launch vehicle carries it. In this episode of Front Page, Sudhi Sachdev sits down with Ramesh Kumar V, Co-Founder and CEO of Grahaa Space, to break down why a failed rocket launch accelerated rather than ended the company's commercial momentum, how live orbital video is technically and commercially superior to the static satellite imagery that has defined the remote sensing industry for four decades, what the gap between what defence and commercial customers pay for a static image versus a continuous live video feed means for India's emerging space economy, and why Grahaa Space's orbit-to-application pipeline positions India as a creator rather than a consumer of the next generation of Earth observation infrastructure.
