Asia’s Under-30 Rocket Scientists and Robot Whisperers: Meet the Future Makers!

Forbes Asia's 2025 30 Under 30 recognizes a new crop of entrepreneurs revolutionizing the region's tech space with robots, rockets, and game-changing ideas. One such standout is Yi Gang, who created Shanghai-based Ti5 Robot Technology after creating a prosthetic hand during his student days. Ti5 now prepares its 1.7-meter-tall humanoid robots for commercial release, fueled by in-house AI and able to navigate difficult spaces. Beijing's Xi Yue, who co-founded Robotera, has designed walkers, runners, and even robots that can climb the Great Wall, attracting huge investments and partnerships. Digantara's founders are making "Google Maps for space" in India, helping track orbital trash, while Jainul Abedin's ByomTech and Bangalore-based Ethereal Exploration Guild work towards reusable rocket technologies. These businesspeople, and other sustainable manufacturing minds, are propelling Asia's technology future into space. Source: Forbes Asia
