SIA-India hosts Power – Packed IndSpaceX 3.O Wargame Stimulating Next Gen Space Battlefields at DefSat 2025
New Delhi, 11 January 2025: The IndSpaceX 3.0 simulated a contest between two notional spacefaring adversaries vying for dominance at the DefSat 2025. The strategic table-top exercise addressed the degree of severities including the 4 Ds’ – Disrupt, Deny, Degrade and Destroy along with Information War-Delay and Information War-Deceive.
“In a turbulent world dominated by Western supremacy, countries like India cannot rely on the mercy of global powers. Initiatives like G20 and BRICS are steps forward, but true self-reliance — Atmanirbharta — requires every ministry to adopt it, not just the Ministry of Defence. Building our own strength is the only path to becoming a global power,” emphasized Lt. Gen. V. G. Khandare.
The simulation had “Green Land,” and “Orange Land,” teams developing strategies for achieving operational space superiority amid scenarios involving information warfare, system disruptions, and resilience-building tactics. The exercise was chaired by Lt. Gen. V. G. Khandare, Principal Advisor to the Ministry of Defence, and conducted by Lt. Gen. PJS Pannu, Senior Advisor to SIA-India. Dr. Subrata Rakshit, Director General (TM) of DRDO, served as the Technical Umpire, while Dr. Ranjana Kaul, Partner at Dua Associates, contributed as an Umpire.
The day began with the release of two significant reports — PRISM: 1.0: US-India Export Controls Dialogue and India-Africa Space Collaboration: Unlocking Strategic Opportunities for Growth. These reports underscore India’s growing role as a strategic leader in space and defense collaboration.
The Perspectives on Regulatory Issues in Strategic Markets (PRISM) 1.0 webinar, held in November 2024, discussed significant policy reforms, including liberalizations in ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) and MTCR (Missile Technology Control Regime), which are poised to strengthen U.S.-India collaboration in defense and space sectors. SIA-India, in collaboration with the IndUS Tech Council, continues the webinar series with otherstrategic markets like Australia, Japan, and Germany.
Mr. Anil Prakash, Director General of SIA-India, stated: “By navigating global regulatory landscapes and fostering international collaborations, India is poised to emerge as a powerhouse in defense and space manufacturing. The PRISM series and India-Africa partnerships exemplify the synergy between innovation and policy alignment, unlocking new avenues for sustainable growth and technological leadership.”
This report on “India-Africa Space Collaboration: Unlocking Strategic Opportunities for Growth” celebrates the enduring partnership between India and Africa, emphasizing their shared vision to leverage space technology for socio-economic development. Highlighting India’s advancements in space technology and Africa’s growing ambitions, the report underscores how collaborative efforts in satellite technology, Earth observation, and capacity building can address global challenges like climate change, food security, and connectivity. In this endeavor, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between SIA-India and Ghana Space Science and Technology Institute, has been signed in December 2024, signaling a new era for India-Africa partnerships in space technology.
Addressing the growing importance of space technology, Dr. Subba Rao Pavuluri stated that “The government’s strategic initiatives are reinforcing the aatmanirbhar vision. India plans to expand its military satellite capabilities significantly, targeting around 100 military satellites by 2030. This expansion is essential for ensuring robust communication and surveillance capabilities to safeguard national interests. Furthermore, with ₹25,000 crore allocated for defense space investments in the fiscal year 2024-25, India is making an unprecedented commitment to the defense space domain, ensuring a robust and resilient ecosystem.”
DefSat 2025 reaffirmed India’s strategic commitment to advancing its defense space capabilities and fostering global partnerships. With the successful execution of IndSpaceX 3.0, pivotal policy dialogues, and key international collaborations, India has further cemented its role as a leading player in the global space landscape. As these partnerships mature, they will unlock transformative opportunities for technological innovation, resilience, and sustainable growth in the defense space sector.

A Kid’s Guide to Money: Empowering the Next Generation with Financial Literacy
January 11, 2024: Financial literacy is a crucial life skill, yet it often remains absent from early education. Addressing this gap, A Kid’s Guide to Money, a book for children aged 7–12, is set to launch in January 2025. Combining adventure and financial lessons, the book uses ten captivating stories set in a haunted library to teach essential skills like what is money, saving, budgeting, and investing in an engaging and relatable way.
The book is co-authored by three industry experts: Dr. Radhakrishnan Pillai, best-selling author of Corporate Chanakya and an authority on the Indian treatise Arthashastra; Brainologi Founder, Shubhada Dayal, a former financial services professional who brings practical insights into money management and hosts the popular parenting podcast Homework Hustle; and Brainologi Co-founder, Sheetal Kapoor, a seasoned educator with over 30 years of experience, and co-host of Homework Hustle podcast.
Shubhada Dayal shares, “An early understanding of money can significantly influence financial outcomes later in life. Children are critical participants in household finances, holding considerable purchasing power. Additionally, with smart devices becoming more accessible to kids, they are increasingly vulnerable to financial crimes. These factors underscore the need to start financial education at the right age. Developed using a structured lesson plan but presented in the form of stories, A Kid’s Guide to Money is the perfect starting point to teach kids about money.”
Sheetal Kapoor adds, “Often, conversations between parents and children about money are stressful, with both sides failing to fully understand each other. Parents need to explain their reasoning more effectively. This book helps facilitate such conversations, making them more productive and meaningful.”
A Kid’s Guide to Money is now available for sale on Amazon.in and promises to be a valuable tool for children to develop financial intelligence while having fun. The book will officially launch on January 10, 2025, inspiring a new generation to make smart financial decisions.

Maaya makes title clash, Senthil exits with semifinal defeat
NEW DELHI, JANUARY 11, 2025: The talented Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi remained on course for her first singles title in more than a year with yet another upset win but top seed Senthil Kumar’s impressive run at the ITF J300 event ended with a semifinal defeat on Friday.
Maaya has been in red-hot form which she utilised to knock out the second seed Eleejah Inisan from France in the fiercely-fourth girls singles semifinal at DLTA Complex.
Passing the test of nerves with flying colours, the 15-year-old Maaya eked out a 6-4 6-7(4) 6-2 win to set up the title clash with Ekaterina Tupitsyna, who too had to fight hard against Polina Berezina.
Tupitsyna emerged a 6-3 4-6 6-1 winner in the tight semifinal.
Maaya had won a singles title back in December 2023 when she triumphed in Pune in a J100 event.
Senhtil has been in a superb touch but his run was finally stalled by Korean fourth seed Donghyun Hwang, who came out winner with a 6-4 6-1 scoreline. Once Senthil lost the opening set, the Korean raced away to the finish line with a double break.
Hwang will clash with unseeded American of Indian origin Roshan Santhosh, who prevented an all-Korean boys singles final with his 6-4 6-0 win over Hyeon Seok Seo in the other semifinal.
The boys doubles title was grabbed by the fourth-seeded pair of Artem Bogomlov and Roman Kharlamov, who bounced back in the final against equally formidable combination of Alan Aiukhanov and Alexey Shibaev, winning 5-7 7-6(6) 10-1.
