What they do
Skyroot Aerospace develops Vikram-series launch vehicles for small-satellite deployments from India. Its rockets are designed for dedicated and rideshare missions, with payload capacities ranging from 350 kg to low Earth orbit for Vikram-I to 900 kg for Vikram-II; the company lists launches for 2026 and 2027.
Hiring outlook
A $200 million round would support expansion across propulsion, avionics, structures, manufacturing, testing, launch operations, and reliability engineering as the company prepares its next vehicles. The stage also suggests potential hiring in supply chain, program management, regulatory work, and commercial roles serving satellite operators and launch customers.
