LinkedIn Message Launches India's First Private Rocket Startup

Two engineers from ISRO sent a LinkedIn message to Mukesh Bansal in 2018, asking for support to build a private rocket company.

Bansal believed in their vision and invested Rs 10 crore.

Despite challenges, including the pandemic, the company succeeded in launching its first orbital rocket, Vikram 1, on July 18.

This achievement made Skyroot Aerospace the first Indian private company to reach orbit and is now valued at over a billion dollars.

The story highlights the importance of belief, passion, and mentorship in achieving ambitious goals.
