PM Modi to unveil Skyroot’s Infinity Campus, Vikram-I

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate Indian space startup Skyroot’s Infinity Campus on Thursday via video conferencing.

The Prime Minister will also unveil Skyroot’s first orbital rocket, Vikram-I, capable of launching satellites into orbit.

The state-of-the-art facility will have around 200,000 square feet of workspace for designing, developing, integrating, and testing multiple launch vehicles, with the capacity to build one orbital rocket every month.

Skyroot is India’s leading private space company, founded by Pawan Chaandana and Bhaarath Daka, both alumni of the Indian Institutes of Technology and former ISRO scientists turned entrepreneurs.

In November 2022, Skyroot launched its sub-orbital rocket Vikram-S, becoming the first Indian private company to launch a rocket into space.

The rapid rise of private space enterprises is a testament to the success of the transformative reforms carried out by the government in the last few years, reinforcing India’s leadership as a confident and capable global space power.
