India's Rocket Startup Is About to Make History | Skyroot Aerospace | Aum Ventures

Skyroot Aerospace is attempting something few companies in the world have ever achieved: building a private orbital launch company from the ground up.

In this conversation, Aum Ventures Founding Partner Chetan Mehta sits down with Skyroot co-founders Pawan Kumar Chandana and Bharat Daka to discuss the journey behind one of India's most ambitious deep-tech companies.

From fundraising before the category existed, to building a culture capable of developing launch vehicles, to managing the pressure of mission-critical execution, this episode explores what it really takes to build a company at the frontier of aerospace.

The conversation goes beyond rockets and technology. We discuss co-founder dynamics, family support, handling failure, scaling teams, investor conviction, and the realities of building a globally competitive company from India.

At Aum Ventures, we believe the most important investment decisions are made long before success becomes obvious. This conversation is part of our "Why We Backed This" series, documenting the founders, decisions, and conviction behind companies shaping the future.
