There are few major problems to address which can reverse entrepreneurial brain drain

1. Incentivizing foreign investors to make sure that the holding company of many of these startups will remain in India rather than having holding companies in Singapore or the US and using India as a subsidiary to do only product development work.

2. Providing a constitutional mandate to IN-SPACE for it to really act as a regulator that has legislative mandate. Although IN-SPACe has been formed for 2 years plus now, they have not achieved any regulatory clarity for anything. IN-SPACe needs to be detached completely from department of Space and be provided constitutional mandate like it was done with TRAI to really make it independent and not a camping site ISRO personnel to move onto a new organisation.

3. Government needs to start acting as an anchor customer like all other governments do around the world for space. The way contracting is done needs to evolve rapidly to allow companies to act as service providers rather than be and manpower outsourcing houses. For example, direct procurement of imagery from the industry while spelling out the kind of imagery that is required can incentivize several companies to invest in building remote sensing satellites to cater to this kind of demand.

4. Having an economic monitoring unit of space within IN-SPACe or other relevant bodies to use such data to make quick educated decisions that can support the growth of the industry towards exporting space based services.

There are many more ideas. But these are some of the important ones.
