Skyroot Aerospace, one of India's leading private space launch service providers, has partnered with Siemens Digital Industries Software to deploy Polarion software for improving software development efficiency and lifecycle management.
The adoption of Polarion, part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, is aimed at digitally transforming Skyroot's engineering processes as the Hyderabad-based startup prepares for commercial orbital missions with its flagship Vikram-1 rocket.
Skyroot Aerospace was founded in 2018 by Pawan Kumar Chandana and Naga Bharath Daka and gained national attention in 2022 when it launched Vikram-S, India's first privately developed rocket to reach space. With a workforce of over 500 professionals, the company has developed low-cost launch vehicles using advanced materials such as carbon composites and 3D-printed engines.
"As a fast-growing aerospace company serving a diverse set of global customers, optimizing our software lifecycle is essential to executing projects efficiently," said Naga Bharath Daka, Co-founder and COO of Skyroot Aerospace. "Polarion provides a seamless solution to manage our software workflows, allowing our team to focus on what they do best."
The integration of Polarion enables Skyroot to unify its software and systems development pipelines, improve traceability and regulatory compliance, and enhance collaboration across its engineering teams.
Mathew Thomas, vice president and managing director for India at Siemens Digital Industries Software, said the partnership reflects the growing maturity of India's private space ecosystem. "Skyroot Aerospace is a true pioneer in the Indian and global space industry, and its decision to adopt Polarion shows its commitment to accelerating digital transformation. We are proud to support its mission to make spaceflight affordable, on-demand, and versatile."
Skyroot is among a group of Indian startups driving innovation in the country's emerging commercial space sector, following regulatory reforms that opened the industry to private participation in recent years.
