ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀

Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.

History is made. 🇮🇳

Thank you, @iamnagarjuna garu, for celebrating Vikram-1’s successful first flight to orbit with us. 🚀

Hearing you share how you watched the launch glued to the screen with your family—the young boy who once dreamed of becoming a rocket scientist, anxious through the hold and elated at liftoff—made your presence all the more special.

Having you celebrate this milestone with the team meant a great deal.

From India, for the world. 🇮🇳

Strap in. 🚀

Ride along with Vikram-1 from the rocket’s POV. Earth slips away, stages separate, the darkness of space opens up, and our blue planet comes into view as orbit is achieved.

Honoured to meet Hon’ble Union Minister Shri @AshwiniVaishnaw.

India’s deep-tech ecosystem is accelerating — powered by forward-looking reforms, world-class digital infrastructure, and a strong commitment to innovation. Skyroot is proud to contribute by building globally competitive space technology from India.

Skyroot’s founders were honoured to meet Hon’ble Union Minister Shri @PiyushGoyal.

The reforms championed by the Minister and the government have unlocked India’s entrepreneurial potential, including in the space sector. Skyroot is proud to count itself among the companies building world-class launch capability from India, and remains deeply grateful for the encouragement extended to the team — including the postcard that flew aboard Vikram-1 to orbit.

From India, for the world. 🇮🇳🚀

[Piyush Goyal @PiyushGoyal]

Delighted to meet Pawan Kumar Chandana, Co-Founder & CEO, and Naga Bharath Daka, Co-founder, at @SkyrootA.

Proud of them and their young team for the historic success of the Vikram-1 mission, India's first privately built and launched orbital rocket, and a landmark moment in our nation's space journey.

A particularly memorable moment was signing the postcard on 10 June 2026 rooting for the success of Vikram-1 mission. What began as a simple gesture of encouragement has become a powerful symbol of India's extraordinary journey, from aspiring to reach space to leaving its imprint beyond Earth.

Our discussions touched on the road ahead for India's space sector, including strengthening the space startup ecosystem and creating an environment where our brightest engineers choose to build in India.

Backed by a strong policy environment under PM @NarendraModi ji, India's space sector is gaining from our existing expertise and the drive of new-generation innovators and is powering India's leadership in this sector.
