Goenka, a former Managing Director of Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd said in the corporate world, a strategy would be defined, market share target will be fixed, and responsibility for achieving it will also be fixed. A similar model will be implemented for the private space sector.

In the coming days, Goenka said he would fix the target, define the timeline and the action plans to achieve the same.

According to him, the total investment by the private space start-ups is only USD 21 million while the opportunity for suppliers at the global level is large.

Citing products like lithium-ion batteries developed by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Goenka said he would look at spreading that technology amongst the automobile sector.

"More than 40 proposals from private space sector companies have come, which are being examined," Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman K.Sivan said.
