Congratulations bhai log. Kudos to ISRO scientists for the as usual copybook style launch.

So Pak has expressed concern over CartoSat. Told you so.

Are we ever going to get larger launch vehicles???
We have GSLV Mk2 and GSLV Mk3.
Both are now reliable systems.
Expect more Mk3 launches soon.

But what you should really look forward to is a rocket in development that's smaller than PSLV. Exclusively for small satellites.
 
Video not available, post another source.

Anyways best of luck and congrats.

Rocket launch in India tonight carries high stakes for Planetary Resources and Spaceflight Industries

A rocket set to lift off from India’s Satish Dhawan Space Center just before 8 p.m. Pacific time Thursday will be carrying important payloads for two companies from the Seattle region: Spaceflight Industries and Planetary Resources.

Planetary Resources, the Redmond-based asteroid mining company, will have its Arkyd-6 technology demonstrator satellite aboard India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle as part of PSLV-C40 mission. Arkyd-6 will capture images in midwave infrared wavelengths and send them back to Earth, setting the stage for the technology to be used in future generations of Planetary Resources’ asteroid-surveying spacecraft.
