Widely respected for his visionary leadership and his pivotal role in India’s landmark space missions, including Mangalyaan and Chandrayaan-1, Mr. Kiran Kumar engaged learners in an open and thought-provoking dialogue on India’s space journey, scientific innovation, and the role of curiosity in nation-building.

Kiran Kumar was a conscious effort to bring science alive for our learners and help them develop real-world perspectives, innovative thinking, and the confidence to explore future-ready careers.”
Addressing the learners, Shri A. S.
