The Decadal Vision is anchored on building platforms, creating an industrial ecosystem, enabling industry, and international outreach. IN‑SPACe has broken down this vision to a Decadal Vision Strategy founded on the three pillars focusing on Revenue Generation, Ecosystem Development and Catalysing the space domain activities. Revenue Generation would be achieved through commercialization of launch services, satellite/ground operations, Earth observation, Satellite Communication, Satellite Navigation and the in‑orbit economy.
