Skyroot CEO Pawan Chandana discusses how the company aims to compete in the private space launch market after Skyroot’s Vikram-1 succeeds in reaching orbit. NDTV reports that the comments follow the Saturday launch, which made Skyroot the first Indian private company to achieve orbital insertion. Chandana characterizes Skyroot’s approach as an “Uber for Space,” describing it as a platform-style business intended to help customers access launch services rather than focusing only on building rockets for a single use case. The interview also frames the company’s ambitions in relation to SpaceX, with Chandana suggesting that innovation in launch access and service delivery is central to competing with established players. While the reporting centers on Chandana’s remarks, it places them in the context of Skyroot’s orbital milestone, which is presented as a key step toward scaling operations and attracting customers. The sources provide the timeline and the market-setting comparison, but do not detail specific technical changes or pricing claims beyond the CEO’s broader “Uber for Space” framing.
