Skyroot Aerospace made history yesterday after becoming the first Indian private company and only the 13th company in the world to launch satellites with an orbital rocket, and it’s done so with while working out of some very cool digs.
Skyroot’s Hyderabad office looks like something straight out of Star Trek. The company’s young founders, both just 35, have chosen to go with a futuristic, minimalist theme. “This Skyroot office interior in Hyderabad was envisioned as a space that reflects innovation, clarity, and futuristic thinking — while still feeling functional, calm, and human,” says Designovate Studio, the company behind the design. “From sculptural forms to clean work zones and collaborative meeting spaces, every detail was crafted to support the rhythm of a modern aerospace workplace,” it adds.
The Skyroot office is primarily bathed in a clean white, with dashes of grey and black. The entrance has a low ceiling, almost giving an effect of a spaceship, and has some interestingly shaped pillars and circular structures.
There are also chairs that wouldn’t look out of place in a space capsule, and some cool geometric patterns.
There’s a seated area with clean, circular seats that are backlit with dim yellow lights. The Indian flag faintly visible in the manufacturing area outside just adds to the overall effect.
The working areas are white and sparse, continuing with the overall minimalistic theme. The ceiling has curved lit strands, which accentuate the idea of being on a spaceship.
The meeting rooms are made of clean, curved glass, giving off an even more of a spaceship feel.
Some of the larger meeting rooms are also sparse, with a white theme and black seats. The windows have interesting geometric patters on them, which again seem to be inspired from space capsules shown in popular culture.
The corridors have dramatic white pillars, a dimly lit ceiling, and a solid metallic doors that gently reflect on the floor.
But Skyroot doesn’t take itself too seriously. In another area, Skyroot has “It’s not rocket science” emblazoned across the wall in giant lettering, with “..oh wait, it is!” in a smaller font right underneath.
And this isn’t one of those startups that has blown money on a fancy office with little to show for it on the ground. Since being founded in 2018, Skyroot has many firsts to its credit. In 2020, it became the first Indian company to successfully test a solid-fueled rocket engine. In 2022, it became the first Indian private company to send a rocket into space. And now in 2026, it’s become the first Indian company to send satellites into orbit. And going by its office, it’s done so in style.
