In his talk, Kartik narrates his life’s journey from his teen years to his adulthood. As a teenager, he was passionate about Formula One and space exploration. When he finished his master's degree, he felt like he was at the end of a massive crossroads. He hadn't yet tasted life in the real world, working on a regular day-to-day job. So what helped him was having a really good group of friends and the support of my family. He believes that we all have the capacity to create positive change in the world. He strongly wants to recommend that you take the time to introspect and think about what that is for you. Don't be afraid to give it a go - you might not be right the first time but eventually, you will be.
And lastly, If you want to make a difference in the world, you have to find a way of doing it that makes you feel good about yourself and about the world around you. Kartik Kumar is one of the Co-Founders & CEO of Satsearch.com. This platform helps engineers source products and services from global suppliers for ground, launch & space. He with his team was incubated in the European Space Agency's Business Incubation Centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. He is an Aerospace Engineer and Planetary Scientist.
