Skyroot Aerospace Co-founder Pawan Kumar Chandana, the man behind launch of India's first private rocket to space, was an average student who scored just 51 marks in mathematics. According to Deedy Das, Chandana's father didn't give up and instead got him enrolled in IIT-JEE coaching, where he improved academically and began loving science and mathematics. In 2007, he joined IIT-Kharagpur.
