This is what Naga Bharath Daka says about Skyroot Aerospace, the Indian
space-tech startup he and a coworker created in 2018.
He and his fellow engineer Pawan Chandana were so excited by the space
industry’s potential that they quit their stable government jobs at the
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), the country’s government space
agency. Instead, they founded Skyroot, which manufactures rocket components
to launch satellites into orbit.
Skyroot made history on Friday when it launched India’s first privately
constructed rocket from the ISRO space center in Sriharikota, located in
the easternmost state of Andhra Pradesh.
