Vikram Sarabhai has been referred to as the ‘Founder’ or ‘Architect’ of the Indian Space Program. When such labels are used, people tend to forget or ignore many other significant contributions made by a multifaceted person like Sarabhai. More than forty-eight years ago Vikram Sarabhai passed away on 30 December 1971 at a young age of fifty-two. Last year in 2019 a large number of pro-grammes were organized to mark the birth centenary of Vikram Sarabhai and these will be continued till August 2020. I was very fortunate to have met him in 1960, when I was very young, and had an opportunity to work with him during my association with him for eleven years.
