#Discussion(Startup) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
This post will be discouraging several times, but I just want to paint a very realistic picture. There are too many starry eyed young aspirants who get caught in the glitter of the space sector and end up disillusioned with enormous financial burdens and fancy but practically useless space degrees and dejectedly settling down with a job in a non-space industry.
ou have several options
Government
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) is the most popular government organization doing space activities in the country. Apply through the ICRB (ISRO central recruitment board) or check the careers page of individual ISRO centers regularly. TIFR (TATA Institute of Fundamental Research) has a department of Astronomy and Astrophysics which worked alongside ISRO on the Astrosat mission – India’s own space observatory IIA (Indian Institute of Astrophysics) IUCAA (Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics) IISER (Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research) have campuses across India
Private
Big corporations like SES, Airbus have little presence in India since ISRO builds its own satellites L&T, TATA, Godrej have no real products but act as vendors to ISRO SMEs – Don’t expect IT sector like pay since they all fight for the same limited pie. An engineer’s salary can be as little as Rs 25,000-30,000 per month Centum Electronics Aniara Space Data Patterns
