Post-agreement signing, Dhruva Space’s initial technology demonstration will begin with its DSOD-1U, a 1U CubeSat Deployer containing an indigenously-made non-pyrotechnic Hold Down and Release Mechanism (HDRM). The 1U Deployer has undergone extensive testing to qualify on-ground for the flight. It can be configured to hold multiple CubeSats, and contains redundant sensors for confirmation of satellite deployment. Furthermore, over the next 12 months, Dhruva Space will be testing its 3U, 6U and 12U variants of the CubeSat Deployers.

This company was recently covered on NHK World's "Newsline In Depth" program.

It should be available for 24 hours from when this post was made here: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/programs/#1005

What I find entertaining is the ISRO vehicle animation in their media package is literally Kerbal Space Program. I've attached screenshots.
