In this exclusive conversation with NDTV, Pawan Kumar Chandana, CEO and Co-Founder of Skyroot Aerospace, reflects on the historic success of Vikram-1, India’s first privately developed orbital launch vehicle to successfully reach orbit on its maiden mission. Chandana explains why the mission is a landmark not just for Skyroot, but for India and the global space industry. He speaks about the coincidence of Vikram-1’s success on the anniversary of SLV-3’s first successful launch, the tribute paid to Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, and how the company celebrated the achievement.
