India's drone and space tech sector to create 200,000 jobs by 2033.
India’s aerospace, drones, and space technology sector is projected to expand significantly, potentially reaching $44 billion by 2033 and generating over 200,000 new jobs, according to a report by Adecco India. This growth is fueled by government reforms, private-sector involvement, and international collaborations, with emerging roles such as Space Policy Analysts and Robotics Engineers becoming critical to the nation’s space ambitions. Key initiatives, including the Indian Space Policy 2023 and a Rs 1,000 crore VC fund, are expected to enhance innovation and workforce diversity, particularly encouraging women’s participation in technical fields. As India aims to capture 7-8% of the global space economy, this sector’s evolution is crucial for the country’s strategic and economic aspirations.
