Apurwa Masook — Founder
Enhancing and administering my entrepreneurial dexterity for solving hard problems in the aerospace & defence sector. I am a first-generation entrepreneur and a proponent of grass root innovations, frugal engineering and design thinking. As an ambitious risk-taker and a thrill-seeker, I look for adventure in my professional life and personal avocations. I also like to cook, play video games, listen to music and play football. Leading India's first student rocketry team and launching several sounding rockets under severe resource constraints, instilled a strong bias for engineering rigor, rapid iteration, and mission-driven problem solving. These formative years revealed a deeper problem - technological sovereignty in defence & aerospace requires resilience in energetics and propulsion systems. At SpaceFields we are motivated to solve hard problems, challenge the status quo and drive strategic impact.
