What this episode covers

Aravind Ravichandran is an independent consultant helping multiple businesses work with Earth Observation data. We talk about how Aravind's background as a software engineer helps him in his consulting work and how he ended up in space sector in the first place, some of the current big picture aspects of the field and Aravind is kind enough to help me understand a bit more about the Indian EO market.
