Fun facts, the Mysorean rocket was the main reasons that Britsh was defeated several times in the battle against Kingdom of Mysore [1]. The leader of the British army at the time is none other than Arthur Wellesley, better known as 1st Duke of Wellington who later defeated Napoleon at Waterloo, and ended Napoleonic Era in Europe.
The British was so impressed by the technology, then decided to purposely created a new company to improve on the Mysore rocket technology to be used in war and created Royal Arsenal Woolwich in 1801 that later became Arsenal football club. The original name of Arsenal footbal club was Woolwich football club. Royal Arsenal were very successful that during WW1 it employed 80,000 workers. I think it's not an exxageration to say that Napolean was defeated by British partly due to Congereve rockets produced by the new company, that were improved from Mysorean rocket [2].
Another fun fact is that the Tipu Sultan of the Kingdom of Mysore also ruled Bangalore, now considered the Silicon of Valley of India.
