What a day. One for the history books. 🇮🇳🚀
A dream launch to orbit, followed by the most memorable conversation with Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi.
Deeply grateful to Modi ji for watching the launch livestream with such excitement and for making the first call to congratulate Team @SkyrootA as Vikram-1 successfully launched satellites into orbit on its maiden attempt.
Every word from him was a powerful vote of confidence in India’s young engineers, entrepreneurs and dreamers.
A day I will never forget.
Onwards and upwards from here. 🚀🇮🇳

24 hours to lift-off. 🚀
Eight years ago, @SkyrootA started with just two people with an idea.
There was no policy framework for private spaceflight in India, no real funding ecosystem for space startups, and we were taking on one of the world’s hardest engineering challenges. The odds of success seemed incredibly small.
Today, India’s first privately developed orbital rocket stands on the launch pad, ready for lift-off.
This moment belongs to every member of our team, our investors, the Government of India,@PMOIndia, @isro, @INSPACeIND, our partners, suppliers, customers, and everyone who believed in us long before this day.
We have done everything we possibly could.
Now we let physics do its job.
Whatever tomorrow brings, every second of flight will teach us something invaluable. Reaching the launch pad and attempting an orbital launch is a landmark milestone for India—and an achievement only a handful of companies worldwide have reached. Every milestone we cross will advance not just Skyroot or India’s space journey, but the global commercial space ecosystem.
Tomorrow, we take the next step. 🇮🇳🚀
Watched Raja Shivaji last night on Netflix..very realistic action and very nice sets but Ritesh lacks the charisma 🤔and most stars didn’t speak Marathi well (so don’t sound natural) and one surprise at the end 😊
4/5 🌟
Tesla FSD amazed me yet again. It noticed the large trailer so it didn’t pull all the way up to the line after this car went. Then it realized that the trailer was t going to swing wide enough so it REVERSED to make way, then shifted over to get clear. This is AWESOME! #fsd
Feeling sorry for guys commenting in this YT video..looks like they haven’t experienced a Tesla yet, this is exactly what people said when the iphone was launched!
