Although Chandrayaan-3 soft landed on the south side of the moon, it has helped the net worth of a 60-year old engineer go north. One such man who benefited hugely from Chandrayaan-3 success is Ramesh Kunhikannan, who is now officially a billionaire with a net worth of more than Rs 9,166 crore (1.1 billion dollar). Ramesh Kunhikannan is founder of Kaynes Technology, a key supplier of electrical components for the lander and rover in Chandrayaan-3 mission. Ramesh Kunhikannan founded Kaynes Technology in 1989 and over the years he scaled it to new heights. Headquartered in Mysore, Kaynes Technology specialises in assembling printed circuit boards and it supplies to 350 clients across the globe.
