India successfully launches Vikram-S, first privately made rocket

India has successfully launched its first privately developed rocket, a milestone in the country’s effort to create a commercial space industry and to compete on cost.
Vikram-S was built by a start-up with an engineering team of 200 people.
The launch paves the way for the private sector to enter the country's space arena.
