Pushing the boundaries of knowledge through interdisciplinary projects that address real-world challenges and drive meaningful change.
Trivandrum City is emerging as a space innovation hub, leveraging the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre and the Indian Space Policy 2023. With strong government support and private sector collaboration, it’s set to drive space-sector growth in India.
The project aims to develop space-based applications to solve urban issues such as urban flooding and also develop a comprehensive model for coastal management for the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation.
Project that explores the significance of dual-use technologies and the export control regulations, which govern the transfer of missile technology. The study further delves into how countries' adherence to regime guidelines benefits them, by taking the case of India's membership in the MTCR. It also explores how geopolitical factors shape regime membership
The project analyses evolving security challenges particularly from China that target India specifically and also the Indo Pacific region. It also examines the vulnerabilities in outer space and maritime security.
that assesses how bilateral agreements shape the global innovation system, its actors and their networks with a specific focus on green technology.

The study examines how far the spectrum allocation under ITU helps developing nations like India achieve their telecommunication aspirations. It analyses how India’s engagement with ITU's key sectors and regional organizations influences its access to, and governance of, orbital and spectrum resources for space communications.
The study focuses on Indo-African space cooperation in human security. It aims to analyse how India's space diplomacy with Africa has strengthened south-south cooperation
The project addresses the 'Convention on the International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Object', commonly known as the Liability Convention of 1972. It attempts to analyze the legal vacuum in the existing framework to address emerging technological adaptations, including artificial intelligence and the autonomous capacity of space objects, particularly with respect to the liability convention.
This paper explores the geopolitical consequences of the India-EU collaboration in space, specifically their partnership in sharing Earth Observation information. Drawing from theoretical lenses of complex interdependence and neo-functionalism, the argument is made that this technical cooperation promotes increased strategic convergency. The mutual access to data facilitated by India's space sensing capabilities and the Copernicus programme of the EU not only fulfills scientific and pragmatic functions but also increases strategic independence by challenging the hegemony of other space powers. Thus, the arrangement enhances environmental diplomacy, disaster resilience, and security while projecting India and the EU as middle powers with the ability to set norms in the governance of outer space. The central thesis is that this collaboration is a multidimensional tool of geopolitics, ecological management, and strategy, and not just a technical agreement.
