Mr. Raveen’s story demonstrates that groundbreaking innovation doesn’t require the best tools—just an unwavering determination to push boundaries. Join us to discover how simplicity and relentless effort can lead to extraordinary achievements that change the world.
From humble beginnings, Mr. Raveen Raj M. has always been driven by a sense of wonder and a desire to create. His journey began at just 10 years old, when a tragic incident inspired him to build a borewell rescue robot—an early testament to his belief that age is never a barrier to purpose.
Raveen’s passion for aerospace took off with limited resources, yet his determination led to the creation of the world’s lightest communication satellite, weighing under 7.32 grams—lighter than an Indian 10 rupee coin. This remarkable achievement earned him recognition in the International Book of Records, Asia Book of Records, and India Book of Records, with his Guinness World Record application currently under review.
Today, Raveen is leading an inspiring student space mission with one powerful goal: to prove that students, regardless of their background, can reach for the stars.
