Reaching orbit on the maiden flight of a new launch vehicle is extraordinarily rare. Even SpaceX, which went on to redefine the global space industry—and continues to inspire us—reached orbit on its fourth attempt.
A powerful reminder of just how hard this is, and why Vikram-1 reaching orbit on its very first flight means so much to all of us.
Despite a zillion ways a rocket can fail- 1000’s of complex systems in Vikram-1 worked like clockwork for the very first time in real flight to make this possible.
More than 95% of people at @SkyrootA never worked on any space mission before and their average age is 28. It’s just Freshness, Passion and Grit that made them the scientists and engineers that launched a rocket to orbit in the very first attempt.
A bow to this incredible team that made it all possible. 🙇🚀

After years of staying mostly silent here, I wanted to share what this moment truly means for us.
Reaching orbit with Vikram-1 is the culmination of an incredibly long and difficult journey. Over the last few years, Team Skyroot pushed relentlessly through missed aggressive deadlines, technical hurdles, and moments when the finish line kept moving. We never lost hope. Not once.
This success feels like redemption for every late night, every difficult choice, and every person who refused to give up on the dream.
The flight has given us a treasure of high-fidelity data. We will use every bit of it to make our vehicle subsystems significantly more robust and to optimize performance across the entire system.
For any launch company, achieving orbit is the single hardest milestone. Productionizing this capability, turning this success into reliable, repeatable flights, is now our central focus.
To every member of Team Skyroot who carried this dream when it was hardest, and to everyone who stood with us through the quiet years: thank you. This is your victory too.
To the entire nation that has celebrated this achievement with so much warmth and pride, thank you! It has meant more to us than words can express.
The real work begins now. 🚀

One of the most meaningful outcomes of Mission Aagaman was the trust our customers and partners placed in us.
Vikram-1’s maiden flight successfully deployed Grahaa Space’s SOLARAS satellite and Skyroot’s own SCOPE technology-demonstration satellite, while carrying in-orbit experiments from Cosmoserve Space and DCUBED.
The mission also carried Cosmos Diamonds’ Cosmic Bloom diamond, along with micro-artist Ajay Kumar’s extraordinary creations—a microscopic 18K gold rocket and intricate micro-sculptures honouring Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and Sir C.V. Raman. A tribute to India’s scientific legacy, carried into space alongside the mission.
Here’s to many more missions. 🚀
🔹 Besides collecting ₹43 lakh crore from the pockets of common people, the Modi Government and the BJP have now extended this loot by siphoning off the RBI’s emergency reserve funds meant to help the nation during financial emergencies.
🔹 On 23 May, 2026, the BJP Government took Rs 2.87 lakh crore from the RBI.
🔹 Over the last 12 years, the Modi Government has taken Rs 14 lakh crore from the RBI.
🔹 Altogether, this amounts to a massive Rs 57 lakh crore loot by the BJP from both the RBI and the people of India.
🔹 This is nothing short of an anti-national act to sell foreign exchange reserves at a time when the country’s rupee is depreciating.

Thanks Ravi ji for speaking on countless men who are suffering
🚨 Kerala High Court’s big move 🚨
No Toll on Bad Roads!💥
✅ Toll collection suspended until roads are repaired
✅ Every pothole will be counted
✅ Engineers to be held accountable
Finally, a step towards real road safety & accountability. 🚗🛣️
Shouldn’t this rule apply across all of India?

Today, we honour the sacrifices of our freedom fighters & martyrs who shaped our nation.
Let’s unite for the vision of #ViksitBharat & #AtmanirbharBharat & commit to national development through collective responsibility.
Indian Jet Engines, no matter what. Period.
When the PM says from the Red Fort on Independence Day that India must develop its own jet engines… you don’t treat it as a soundbite.
You treat it as a mission.
And That’s what we are doing , DAY IN- DAY OUT.

Poor Karachi bakery that has nothing to do with Pakistan becomes the victim of idiocy every single time.
