The startups are working across areas including launch vehicles, satellites, space debris management and other emerging space technologies.
During the interaction, Modi encouraged the founders to explore wider applications of space technology that can address everyday challenges and improve people’s lives.
The meeting comes as India continues to open up its space sector to private participation and promote innovation beyond traditional government-led programmes.
