Vikram 1 300kg payload, India-built parts
Vikram 1 is designed to send small satellites into orbit: think of it as "It is like Uber to go to space," carrying up to 300kg at a time.
Most of its parts are made in India, with over 400 local suppliers involved.
Co-founder Chandana says their approach hopes to put India on the map for small satellite launches.
Fun fact: Skyroot already made history in 2022 with Vikram S, India's first private suborbital rocket, in November 2022.
