Episode 8 Part 1 : My Tryst with Space and How it all began with Akshay Gulati - a podcast by The Other Side

Episode 8 is out!!. And it's a deeply philosophical and a highly insightful one. Imagine staying back at university for 4 years after you've graduated. The typical reaction : confusion, disbelief and disdain. Now imagine staying back at university for 4 years for the sole purpose of continuing a student project. Shocked? That's what our guest today, Akshay Gulati, did after graduating from IIT Madras in 2012. Akshay stayed back for 4 more years to continue working on the IITM Satellite project, a student project that is now the tale of legend in IIT Madras. Akshay is currently the CEO of Infinite Orbits, a startup in the domain of space tech and he was kind enough to join us on the show. In this episode, Akshay talks to us about the IITMSAT project, how it all began and about what kept him going all those long years. The episode is filled with profound life lessons, quirky life stories and a huge dose of motivation for anyone who's looking at taking up a massive project. After all, can't get much bigger than launching a satellite into space, can it?
