They recently also raised a $5 million round of funding. Besides running Pixxel at the age of 22, Awais was also one of the founding members of India's Hyperloop team for Elon Musk's competition.

If you are even mildly interested in space, entrepreneurship, engineering, or even just interesting challenges in general, this is the episode for you. Awais is genuinely one of the most inspiring people I've ever spoken to.
