Ya'll Nibbiars last year they were bootstrapped this year backings. And their ideas might be sound crazy but It's actually proposed by many in the past and even the Initial Proposals and Ideas for the Falcon Series was not different than this. And they are real deal they have office in Vakola and workshop in TTCs.

Ya'll Nibbiars if anything is crazy then this is crazy Space Launch providers popping in small amerike Towns in deserts. And they even got 10 million dollars fundings.

Ya'll Nibbiars @mokoman Nibba Technically you can have a TSTO but would require and extremely powerful single stage. It would need as massive power as two VIKAS engine like the GSLV MK 3 first stage. And that's is not easy. Unless they are thinking similar. They may have to use multiple dozens rocket at the same to have sufficient power and also necessary fuel to sustain for many minutes. And that's also with sufficient velocity and altitudes. And with that you can achieve a say 1,000 kg at around 200km LEOs. And this will make sense if you are going for reusable as the engines cost the mosts.

Ya'll Nibbiars I think the Falcon idea is dumb for SLV. Why?. Rather than the whole rocket why not just retrieve the engines and that makes more sense as the engines costs Most of the SLVs costs. The body can be made of light weight Carbon fiber like use and throws. And also most of the electronics is many SLV designs are near the separations or the engine stages. Just separate that and you also retrieves most of the electronics. And teachinally a Rocket engines can be used many times may be even 100's of times. And by making the body lightweight you can also make the more space of the weight for the payloads. This Falcon Ideas also has many flaws. Well after all no ideas is perfects.

The engines and electronics cores cost almost 75 percent of the SLVs. And also the risk of Falcon retrieval would be reduced and also cost of additional infrastructures. And the cost of the body would be reduced as you don't need to rescue . That's results in additional cost savings. This method could be less costly than the current Falcon reusibilitys.

They are charging money for their hiring exam. Is that a normal practice ?
Ya'll Nibbiars yeah many do that like charging 100 rupees or like that. Many Start Ups charges as they outsource the examination to the other firms. And can't say about the 1000 rupees fees.

And they say 3.6 to 6 lakhs. But in reality you will only get 2.4 to 3 lakhs.

what spacex does is more complex but cheaper , my understanding is , they recover whole booster stage + their rocket can land itself upright on a moving sea platform . parachute thing looks less complex but then ull have to discard everything except engine.

honestly looks like a shell company at this point . no pictures of their offices or actual engine . probably a scam to collect 1000 rs

check out their about page

"Space is the most exciting frontier of aerospace and Urvyam is building next generation space engine and vehicles for launching Satellites into Orbit. While satellites are mainly used for telecommunication and Earth observation, Urvyam propose more exploration of Space by building Galactic observatory stations. Equally challenging is building Space based transportation for Goods and Passengers, and Uryvam is capable of addressing this with it’s unique, powerful and truly reusable Vehicles."

what is even a Galactic observatory stations .

Ya'll Nibbiars probably some space hotel or like that. We'll they were even Included in Many institutions seminars and even Goverment sponsored platforms. If it's a scam then this will have extreme effect in the nascent space industry in India.

Ya'll Nibbiars The founder is a aeronautical engineer atleats claims that. But if a scam it will leave many government agencies and media red face.

And I was interested in them as they are near by. So searched one or two thing about them. But when @mokoman said I sam founder of this I literally laugheds.

I'm going to call bull. LinkedIn shows company size of 2-10. Two employees on LinkedIn, but couldn't find their identities. Website is even more incomplete than their fantasy rocket graphic. Ministry of Corporate Affairs's database shows 3 results for "Ethereal" in Karnataka. One is an LLP. Another is producing CNC machines. Last one is a hardware consultancy.
