Submission Statement
The company is aiming to start full commercial services with its [Vikram 1 rocket](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikram_(rocket)) in about 12 months time.
The global small-lift launch market is getting crowded with new private companies. It will be interesting to see these compete on price. India has a great track record on getting to space with relatively small budgets; it sent an orbiter to Mars for just $73 million.
