Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Skyroot Aerospace’s new Infinity Campus on Thursday through video conferencing. During the event, he also unveiled Vikram-I, Skyroot’s first orbital rocket capable of placing satellites into space.
The new Infinity Campus is a modern facility spread across nearly 200,000 sq ft. It will be used for designing, developing, integrating, and testing multiple launch vehicles, and has the capacity to build one orbital rocket every month.
PM Modi praised India’s rapidly growing space sector and highlighted how private companies are becoming a major force. He said that Skyroot’s Infinity Campus represents India’s “new thinking, innovation, and youth power.”
He also noted that over 300 space startups are now contributing to India’s space future. Many of these startups began with small teams and limited resources but have shown strong determination to achieve big goals.
Skyroot Aerospace, founded by Pawan Chandana and Bharath Daka—both IIT graduates and former ISRO scientists—has quickly become one of India’s leading private space organisations.
