The Chandrayaan-3 launch, a mission designed to explore the lunar surface with precision,

stands as a testament to the unwavering persistence of ISRO that, despite encountering

setbacks during the launch of Chandrayaan-2, meticulously scrutinized every facet of the
Chandrayaan-3 launch and brought India the glory of being only the first country to arrive at
the south pole region of the moon.

Chandrayaan-3 has not only expanded the frontiers of scientific knowledge but has also
bestowed invaluable management lessons. Firstly, Chandrayaan-3 encapsulates the spirit of
innovation and learning from failures. ISRO gleaned invaluable insights from Chandrayaan-
2's setbacks. This underscores a fundamental management tenet – embrace failures as
catalysts for growth.

Secondly, Chandrayaan-3’s triumph aligns with the principles of nurturing curiosity to foster a
culture of perpetual innovation. Akin to children’s ability to daydream and come up the
wildest ideas, or even have a million questions and hypotheses about nearly everything,
ISRO’s pursuit of Chandrayaan-3 landing satiated the curiosity of many an Indian regarding
the unexplored south pole of the moon.

This feat is also a testament to multidisciplinary teamwork, where experts from diverse fields
converge towards a singular goal. Management is all about fostering collaboration among
diverse teams and leveraging collective expertise towards a common objective. Lastly, the
empathetic perspective of ISRO’s leaders observed in the speeches delivered immediately
after the successful moon landing, combined with a sense of humility, speaks volumes about
the value-based leadership that has been at the heart of countless successful missions of
ISRO.
