I have some not-so-positive and some positive things to say about the vid.
I must say the vid is a bit overenthusiastic in praising ISRO. This organization was actually preceded by a similar one called INCOSPAR which was set up in 1962 and that makes ISRO 59 years old. Compare that to SpaceX which is 19 years old and has already taken people to space ( the International Space Station ) and is currently developing spacecraft that can technically carry 100 people to Mars orbit though there is the thing about carrying food, water, medical items and other things.
ISRO did the incorrect thing of becoming a satellite launcher when it should have concentrated on human spaceflight right from the time of establishment. Actually with the number of engineers and scientists that India has and the reasonably large industrial base it has there should have been an Indian Mars colony by now.
Nevertheless one good thing that has been happening in Indian space circles in recent years is delegation of spacecraft R&D to private groups. I know of three - Agnikul Cosmos, Skyroot Aerospace and Bellatrix Aerospace - which are either developing rocket engines, engines for satellites or entire launch rockets ( for small payload ). I hope that they get more ambitious and develop human space transport programs individually so that at least by the mid-2030s they can transport people and infrastructure to Mars. Also, I hope India can have a joint Mars settlement effort with South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, West Asia and Caribbean / South America.
