Successful maiden launch for Vikram-1! Think of it as the Indian Electron. Roughly equivalent in size to the RocketLab rocket, also non-reusable. https://x.com/ISROSpaceflight/status/2078369215946617313/video/1
To my new Indian fans: welcome! I met ISRO leadership in my last job, and have loved following your space industry ever since. And to my new Indian haters: lol guys... you really think the comparison to Electron — the workhorse rocket for a $40 billion company — is an insult?!

Also, solid rocket motors rule. That thing LEAPED off the pad.
congrats, this is an amazing achievement!
ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀 Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability. History is made. 🇮🇳 #Vikram1 #JourneyToOrbit #SkyrootAerospace
