The unveiling, graced by Ms. Meenakshi Lekhi, Former Minister of State for External Affairs, along with Ms. Ruby Sinha, President BRICS CCI WE, ambassadors, and delegates from BRICS and partner nations, marked a powerful convergence of diplomacy, science, and gender inclusion.

Adding to this moment of recognition and impact, Dr. Srimathy Kesan, Founder & CEO of Space Kidz India and Mission Director of ShakthiSAT, was honoured with the prestigious “Changemaker of the Year” Award by BRICS CCI WE. She expressed that this recognition is a great honour and a reflection of the collective efforts of young girls, global partners, and supporters who are driving meaningful change through space science and education.

The Shakthi mascot, conceptualised by Dr. Srimathy Kesan, with design execution by artist Bikram Dutt and apparel design by Ms. Harsha (Hashtag), stands as a symbol of strength, UNITY, and the transformative potential of the girl child in shaping the future of space exploration. The 108 flags on the shirt of the mascot represent the 108 participating countries in the mission.This mascot will be carried to the MOON With the 108 Country flags. “ONE UNIVERSE ONE FAMILY”

Rooted in the timeless Indian philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” — the world is one family, Mission ShakthiSAT is a bold global initiative led by Space Kidz India under the leadership of Dr. Srimathy Kesan. The mission aims to empower 12,000 girls from 108 countries through intensive, hands-on training in STEM, satellite engineering, coding, and space systems. Over the course of the program, students undergo extensive hours of structured learning, technical workshops, and collaborative design processes, ensuring that participation goes beyond inspiration to real, measurable skill-building and scientific contribution.

Mission ShakthiSAT is envisioned as the world’s first all-girls international lunar mission, comprising both a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite as a technology demonstrator and a lunar satellite targeting a hard landing on the Moon. This mission is not only a technological endeavor but also a global platform for scientific collaboration, enabling students from diverse geographies to work together on experiments that address real-world challenges. It reflects a shift in the global space paradigm—from isolated missions and duplication of effort to shared knowledge, collective innovation, and responsible use of space resources.

India’s leadership in this initiative underscores its evolving role as a unifying force in the global space ecosystem. By bringing together nations—large and small—Mission ShakthiSAT ensures that access to space is not limited by geography or economic status. The mission seeks to build an inclusive international framework where countries collaborate rather than compete, and where young girls are empowered to lead scientific discovery. In this spirit, the team also looks forward to meaningful engagement with global leadership, including a potential interaction with the Honorable Prime Minister of India, to further strengthen the mission’s vision and impact on a national and international scale.

The unveiling at the BRICS CCI WE Summit aligns with the theme “Women in Innovation, Science & Entrepreneurship (WISE) – Inspiring Change, Shaping Tomorrow,” reinforcing the importance of women’s leadership in shaping future economies and technologies. Mission ShakthiSAT embodies this vision by creating pathways for girls to actively participate in high-impact scientific missions while fostering international cooperation across BRICS+ and partner nations.

Building on the success of previous initiatives such as AzaadiSAT, where 750 rural Indian girls contributed to the development and successful launch of a satellite, Mission ShakthiSAT expands this model globally. It demonstrates that talent exists universally, and that with the right opportunities, mentorship, and access, young minds can contribute meaningfully to advanced scientific and technological missions.

The mission is now entering a critical phase, with selected students from participating countries expected to travel to India for hands-on payload integration, testing, and ground station development, followed by launch preparations.

The international student program and travel to India is scheduled from August 23 to September 1, 2026, during which participants will engage in intensive hands-on training, collaboration, and mission integration activities.

As the mission progresses toward its orbital and lunar milestones, Space Kidz India is actively engaging with global institutions, industry leaders, and stakeholders to build strong support systems and partnerships.

Mission ShakthiSAT is currently seeking CSR partners and institutional collaborators to support this historic initiative. Organizations aligned with the vision of inclusive growth, STEM education, and global cooperation are invited to partner in enabling access, infrastructure, training, and mission development—ensuring that this transformative opportunity reaches deserving girls across the world.

Mission ShakthiSAT is supported by a strong ecosystem of partners and collaborators who have stood by the initiative and contributed to its growth and impact. The team extends its sincere gratitude to IN-SPACe, ISRO, Hexaware, Ananth Technologies, Zoho Learn, AIMERS Foundation, Meridien Space Command, BCI Aerospace, World Space Week Association, and several other global and regional partners, whose continued support has been instrumental in advancing the mission’s goals.

The Shakthi mascot represents more than a mission—it represents a movement. A movement where a girl from any part of the world can build, innovate, and lead in space science. A movement where nations come together not in competition, but in collaboration. And a movement where space becomes a shared platform for peace, progress, and collective human advancement.

Space Kidz India, the organization behind this initiative, has established itself as a pioneer in student-led space missions, having launched over 20 balloon satellites, 3 suborbital satellites, 5 orbital satellites, and 2 rocket launches, while inspiring thousands of students through hands-on international exposure and training. With Mission ShakthiSAT, the organization takes a significant step forward in scaling its vision globally, positioning India at the forefront of a new era in space exploration defined by inclusion, collaboration, and purpose.

MTLI Group Brings a Unified Approach to Complex U.S. Facility Projects

Published

on

United States, 22nd Aug 2026 — Managing a modern industrial or commercial facility often requires more than completing a construction project. From engineering and equipment installation to automation, facility transitions, and ongoing maintenance, organizations may need multiple specialized teams to work together without disrupting operations. MTLI Group of Companies is addressing this challenge through an integrated infrastructure model designed to bring these requirements under one accountable structure.

Founded in 1982, MTLI Group has spent more than four decades developing infrastructure solutions for organizations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. With more than 15,000 completed projects, 100+ professionals, and a network of 800+ vendors and partners, the company is positioned to support complex programs involving multiple facilities, trades, locations, and project phases.

“Complex facilities require coordination long after the first construction activity begins,” said Mitchell Learning, CEO of MTLI Group. “Our integrated structure allows us to remain involved across multiple stages so clients can approach infrastructure development and change as one connected program.”

Reducing Fragmentation Across Facility Programs

One of the challenges associated with major facility projects is coordination. A construction contractor may complete one phase, an automation specialist may handle another, and separate providers may be responsible for installation, relocation, maintenance, or recovery.

MTLI Group takes a different approach by combining these capabilities within a broader infrastructure platform. Engineering, project management, construction, installation, automation, transitions, and lifecycle services can be coordinated through a single delivery structure.

This model is designed to provide clients with greater visibility into project schedules, costs, safety requirements, and execution while reducing the need to manage numerous independent workstreams.

Building Infrastructure Around Operational Requirements

The growing adoption of automation is changing the way warehouses and distribution facilities are designed and operated. Warehouse automation can involve sophisticated equipment and technology, but successful implementation also depends on the surrounding physical infrastructure.

As a warehouse automation company, MTLI Group supports projects where automation needs to be considered alongside construction, installation, electrical systems, controls, equipment placement, and facility operations. This integrated perspective can help organizations approach automation as part of the overall facility rather than as a separate technology project.

MTLI’s role can extend from engineering and planning through installation and commissioning, helping coordinate the transition from project design to operational infrastructure.

Supporting Commercial and Industrial Development

Facility requirements can vary significantly between commercial properties, manufacturing environments, distribution centers, and logistics operations. MTLI Group provides construction capabilities designed to accommodate these different environments.

As a commercial construction company, the organization supports commercial facility projects, modifications, buildouts, and infrastructure improvements. Its capabilities as a commercial general contractor allow it to coordinate construction activities with other project requirements and specialized trades.

MTLI also provides design build construction services, connecting engineering and construction considerations within the same project framework. This approach can help streamline communication between planning and field execution while creating clearer accountability throughout development.

For manufacturing and industrial environments, MTLI operates as an industrial construction company, supporting projects that may require coordination between structural work, equipment installation, automation, electrical systems, and ongoing facility operations.

Infrastructure Support Beyond the Build

For MTLI Group, facility delivery does not necessarily end when construction is complete. Buildings and industrial environments require continued attention as equipment ages, operational requirements change, and businesses expand or relocate.

Through its capabilities as a facility management company, MTLI supports ongoing maintenance, inspections, repairs, equipment services, troubleshooting, and infrastructure optimization.

The company also provides facility transition and asset recovery services for organizations moving, consolidating, expanding, or redesigning operations. Equipment and infrastructure can be dismantled, relocated, recovered, reinstalled, or redeployed as part of broader transition programs.

About MTLI Group of Companies

MTLI Group of Companies is an integrated industrial and commercial infrastructure platform serving the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Founded in 1982, the company specializes in engineering, automation, construction, installation, logistics, facility transitions, asset recovery, and lifecycle support.

MTLI’s experience includes more than 15,000 completed projects, supported by 100+ professionals and a network of 800+ trusted vendors and partners. The company is structured to manage multi-site, multi-trade, and multi-phase programs while maintaining a centralized approach to project accountability.

Rather than limiting its role to traditional contracting, MTLI works as a long-term infrastructure partner, supporting clients from early planning and design through installation, maintenance, transitions, and ongoing performance optimization.
