Industrialist Anand Mahindra noted, "From the dawn of humankind we have gazed at the moon and let it work its magic on our minds. The moon turned us into dreamers. Today, magic & science merge and having the moon in our grasp will spark new dreams in the minds of 1.4 billion Indians. Jai Hind."

Gautam Adani conveyed his elation by tweeting, "Congratulations, @isro! You are indeed the pride of the nation. A country's ability to execute space missions reflects her confidence and this is India's time. A historic moment for our 1.4 billion citizens as our nation's orbits continue to expand. Jai Hind."

Vedanta’s Anil Agarwal tweeted a video from the celebrations at ISRO.

“Chand ko kehdo hum aa gaye… Truly a special moment for every Indian! I bow down to our scientists at ISRO for making every Indian proud. This is India’s time to shine in science and technology,” he wrote.

Following the triumphant landing, S Somanath, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation, addressed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was virtually witnessing the event. Somanath announced, "Sir, we have achieved a soft landing on the moon. India has now set foot on the lunar surface."

NSE MD & CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan said "I extend my warmest congratulations to our great nation on the remarkable achievement of Chandrayaan-3's soft and successful landing on the south pole of the Moon. This achievement marks a historic milestone in India's space exploration journey and resonates deeply with the core values that propel our country's progress.
