Skyroot Aerospace’s Vikram-1, built entirely in Hyderabad, became the first privately developed Indian rocket to reach orbit on its very first try. No delays. No fails. Just flawless execution. And it didn’t just hit orbit; it carried payloads, tributes to India’s science icons, and even a handwritten ‘Vande Mataram’ from PM Modi. What makes this even wilder? India is now only the third country (after the US and China) with a private orbital launch capability. Behind it? A team led by Pawan Kumar Chandana, who’s calling this a ‘cab service to space’; custom, quick, and built for startups. This isn’t just a launch. It’s the start of a new era. And it’s happening in our backyard. 🚀 #SpaceTech #IndiaRising #Skyroot #Vikram1 #StartupIndia #PrivateSpace #ISRO #Innovation #TechNews #RocketLaunch
