Skyroot Aerospace co-founder Pawan Kumar Chandana shared an emotional note for his father after Vikram-1’s successful launch. He recalled his academic struggles, his father’s support, and the historic achievement of India’s first privately developed orbital launch vehicle.
Days after Skyroot Aerospace scripted history with the successful launch of Vikram-1, co-founder Pawan Kumar Chandana shared an emotional note dedicated to his father, revealing that the very first call he made after the rocket successfully reached orbit was to him.
"As everything slowly begins to sink in, and after finally getting some sleep last night, I wanted to share a small personal note," Chandana wrote in a social media post.
Recalling academic struggles
Recalling his academic struggles, Chandana said he was a bad student until Class 8, scoring just 51 marks in Mathematics and even failing another subject. He said he could never have imagined that he would one day study at an IIT or contribute to India's first privately developed rocket reaching orbit.
