- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with the CEOs and founders of 20 space startups to discuss the growth of India's space sector. During the meeting, the Prime Minister emphasized the need to create an environment that attracts a global talent pool to India, suggesting that the country can act as a magnet for professionals wanting to build careers in the field. He highlighted India's cost competitiveness and the risk taking capacity of its people as key strengths for carving out a niche in the global market.
Modi stressed the importance of policy consistency to provide assurance to risk takers. He stated that consistent decisions ensure that entrepreneurs feel supported even when facing errors. The Prime Minister also encouraged companies to explore new applications for their technologies to improve daily life and suggested collaborations between space firms and other sectors, such as agriculture and environmental organizations. Additionally, he called for partnerships with Atal Tinkering Labs to foster interest in space among children.
The interaction included representatives from companies such as Skyroot Aerospace, Agnikul Cosmos, Pixxel, and Dhruva Space. This initiative follows the Indian Space Policy 2023, which opened the space value chain to private participation in areas including satellite manufacturing and launch services.
