Skyroot aerospace was founded in Hyderabad 2018 by two former isro employees Pawan and Naga.
They have planned to make 3 rocket series name Vikram 1, Vikram 2 and Vikram 3. Vikram 1 is their base rocket with approx 19m High it's 3 stages are entirely solid fuel propellent but it also have small velocity trimming final liquid stage which can do final adjustment in orbit. Vikram is scheduled to launch in December 2021 skyroot is although youngest company in india but still the fastest. Initially they planned to use mobile launcher for rocket launch or may be by any foreign country but since Indian government has announced new rules for Indian private startups so they could use the ISRO facilities for launch.
