I doubt ISRO has a space programme involving astronauts yet. It's mostly unmanned missions, so unless that changes anytime in the coming years (as it should), you're better off looking into NASA and getting that US citizenship.Kishlay said:

To become an astronaut, you must first have a bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as engineering, science, or mathematics. You also need to have at least three years of related professional experience or 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in a jet aircraft. Additionally, you must pass a rigorous physical examination and complete a training program at NASA.
The type of training required depends on the specific job at NASA. For astronauts, they must complete a 2-year training program that includes simulations, academic classes, and physical training. Other NASA employees may undergo specialized training based on their job responsibilities, such as engineering, research, or mission control.
Yes, NASA has a policy of accommodating individuals with disabilities and medical conditions. However, certain medical conditions may disqualify you from becoming an astronaut, as the job requires a high level of physical and mental fitness. It is best to check with NASA's medical office for specific guidance.
The minimum age for becoming an astronaut is 18 years old. There is no maximum age limit, but most astronauts are selected between the ages of 26 and 46. Age can be a factor in the selection process, as NASA looks for individuals who can handle the physical and mental demands of spaceflight.
To be a successful astronaut, you need to have excellent physical and mental health, as well as the ability to work well in a team and handle stressful situations. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and adaptability are also important qualities to have. Additionally, having a background in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) can be beneficial for a career at NASA.
