#36 - Aravind Ravichandran, Terrawatch Space
Manage episode 294765759 series 2845388
This week’s guest is my friend Aravind Ravichandran, previously of PWC’s space consulting group and now working on his own at Terrawatch Space. He is an expert on remote sensing / Earth observation, but I think you will find his perspectives on the space sector and space business very insightful in general. He also has his own space podcast, the Terrawatch Space podcast, where I was a guest a few weeks ago.
