00:00just shape your future, but future of India.

00:05How appropriate it is that this moment happens in a university named after Dr. APJ Abdul Kalab.

00:10I remember when I was a school kid, I was fortunate enough to hear him live at my school.

00:17He told us that dreams are not what we see in our sleep.

00:20Dreams are those that keep us awake at night.

00:24If you remember only one thing from his life, let it be this.

00:27Your education, your degree, your brilliance, they matter only when they uplift others.

00:38In June 2025, I launched for 20 days in orbit, carrying not just the India's tricolor,

00:49but also the dreams and ambitions of 1.4 billion people.

00:53I also took with me scientific experiments prepared by Indian researchers

00:57who conducted microgravity research for the first time ever.

01:02But beyond the science, it was the experience itself that taught me lessons I want to share with you.

01:07In this journey of mine, I can't tell you how many times I have been discouraged to pursue ambitious undertakings.

01:17How many times I have felt lost, disillusioned, and scared.

01:21But the one thing that has always helped me moving on forward was my belief.

01:27Sometimes in the task at hand, sometimes in the cause, but almost all the time in myself.

01:33So wherever you are in life, whatever situation, carry this with you.

01:40Never stop believing in yourself.

01:43Our launch for Axiom 4 mission kept being postponed for one reason or the other.

01:48Some technical failure is either on the rocket or on the International Space Station.

01:52And we ended up having the longest unbroken quarantine in the human spaceflight ever.

01:5932 days we were in quarantine.

02:02But this wait taught me one of the most important lessons of my life.

02:06Waiting is not wasting.

02:08It is preparation.

02:09It gave me time to refine my procedures,

02:12practice reactions to off-nominal situations that can happen during the mission,

02:16and also for on-orbit interactions.

02:18This allowed me to have an extremely successful mission.

02:23And this applies to all of you as well.

02:26When job offers are delayed,

02:28when your projects don't come off immediately,

02:31and when life doesn't follow the timeline that you have in mind,

02:35do not lose heart.

02:37Patience is not passive.

02:38It is active endurance.

02:42On launch day, as I sat strapped inside the Dragon capsule,

02:46I thought I knew what to expect.

02:47After all, I had spent most of my life flying fighters.

02:52But the very moment those nine Merlin engines ignite,

02:55every calculation, every visualization,

02:57it just goes right out of the window.

02:59It is extremely powerful.

03:02The sheer power of that launch redefined my understanding of motion and energy.

03:08And in that chaos,

03:09with everything moving so fast and so powerfully,

03:12your mind naturally drifts into the what-ifs.

03:15What if an engine fails?

03:18What if the separation doesn't happen?

03:21What if something goes wrong?

03:23Anxiety is not just possible,

03:25it is likely.

03:27But here is where the training helped me.

03:29It taught me to focus,

03:31not on the fear,

03:32but what was the next step right in front of me.

03:35Next checklist item,

03:37next switch,

03:38next button.

03:38And before I knew it,

03:42we were in orbit.

03:44Life,

03:45like a rocket launch,

03:47will shake you.

03:49Distractions will be everywhere.

03:51Sometimes the lure of social media,

03:54sometimes the pressure to conform,

03:55and sometimes doubts about your own abilities.

04:00But success comes from discernment,

04:03from focusing on the next actionable step that you have in front of you,

04:07and moving forward.

04:12Life in orbit was breathtaking.

04:15The very moment you enter microgravity,

04:17your body,

04:18though,

04:19begins to rebel.

04:19After all,

04:20you've never been in this environment.

04:22Your body knows gravity and nothing else.

04:25Your head swells up,

04:26because the blood rushes to your head,

04:28it becomes much bigger.

04:30Your heart slows down,

04:31because it doesn't have to work against gravity.

04:33Your spine starts elongating,

04:35and all this causes pain,

04:36confusion,

04:37nausea,

04:37and headaches.

04:38But the science doesn't wait.

04:43You carry samples that have to be preserved.

04:46So even when the body is under stress,

04:48the work must go on.

04:50And this is exactly your life going to be after graduation.

04:53There will be times wherein you will not feel ready.

04:56Your energy will dip.

04:57Motivation will desert you.
