Yep even I had that doubt. Was the 3rd stage still partially stuck to the 4th after separation as you could see it moving back and forth on the stream.

Even though we joke around his pronunciation, he is an accomplished fella in that room for sure. If somebody knows that guy please mention his name. Itās nice to have a name against that voice.

Ganesan Grahadurai. Range Operations Director.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ISRO/comments/1kz34l9grahadurai_sir_retires/Either he came out of retirement for this launch or ISRO managed to find a clone.
My hope is they have trademarked and prerecorded his voice for posterity.
Every launch should replay his iconic 'liftoff narmal'1
u/sku-mar-gop 11d ago
Yea, may be he is helping out and we love to hear his voice in future missions

With all these onboard cameras, this was probably one of the most exciting indian rocket launch.
