Skyroot Aerospace’s Vikram-1 rocket successfully entered orbit, making India only the third country (after the US and China) to achieve private orbital launch capability. This isn’t just about reaching space; it’s about unlocking a new economy. Think startups building satellites, private launch providers competing globally, and thousands of new high-tech jobs. The government’s push to open space to private players is paying off. And this is just the beginning. Vikram-1 proves that Indian innovation, when given the freedom to fly, can reach the stars; and bring back serious economic returns. The sky’s no longer the limit. It’s the launchpad.
