For Pawan Chandana, appearing on KBC was also a special full circle moment. Sharing his experience, he wrote, _“From watching Kaun Banega Crorepati as a kid to being on the show—it felt a little surreal. Grateful to be part of KBC’s special Independence Day episode with the legendary Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.”_ The conversation also gives viewers a glimpse into what *Skyroot Aerospace* does. Explaining the company in an easy-to-understand manner, Pawan Chandana draws an interesting comparison, describing Skyroot as the _“space ka taxi”_, just as people use a taxi to get somewhere, rockets help transport satellites into orbit.
