Skyroot Aerospace
Develops small-lift launch vehicles for the small satellite market using solid-fuel boosters, 3D-printed liquid engines, and cryogenic propulsion
About
Skyroot Aerospace designs and manufactures small-lift launch vehicles for the small satellite market. Founded in 2018 by former ISRO scientists Pawan Kumar Chandana and Naga Bharath Daka, the company is headquartered in Hyderabad, India.
The company produces the Vikram series of rockets. Vikram-I, targeting a 2026 maiden orbital flight, delivers up to 350 kg to low Earth orbit and 260 kg to sun-synchronous orbit using solid-fuel boosters and a 3D-printed liquid engine upper stage in an all-carbon composite airframe. Vikram-II adds a cryogenic upper stage engine, increasing payload capacity to 900 kg to LEO and 600 kg to SSO. Both vehicles support dedicated and rideshare launch configurations.
Skyroot became the first Indian private company to launch a rocket with its Vikram-S suborbital mission in November 2022. Manufacturing operations are centered at the Infinity Campus, an integrated rocket factory inaugurated in 2025. The company has raised approximately $100 million in venture funding and has partnered with Exolaunch for payload integration and deployment services.
