Bengaluru’s SatSure and Hyderabad’s Dhruva Space have joined forces through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to offer end-to-end Earth Observation-as-a-Service (EOaaS) solutions. This strategic alliance aims to deliver comprehensive satellite development and data analytics services, catering to both strategic and commercial sectors including agriculture, energy, and aviation.
SatSure, founded in 2017 by Prateep Basu, Rashmit Singh Sukhmani, and Abhishek Raju, leverages satellite imagery combined with various datasets to provide decision intelligence across multiple sectors. Their subsidiary, KaleidEO, specializes in analytical solutions and will integrate with Dhruva’s expertise in small satellite platforms and system integration. “This partnership is poised to boost our sovereign EO capabilities and create a complete package for end customers who need both high-quality data and end-to-end solutions,” stated Basu.
Established in 2012 by Sanjay Nekkanti, Dhruva Space provides integrated solutions for satellite launches and operations. Their recent expansion includes a 280,000 sq. ft. spacecraft facility in Hyderabad, designed for building satellites up to 500 kg. “Connecting our satellite platform strengths with SatSure analytics, we can streamline mission implementation and provide real-time insights to various sectors,” said Nekkanti.
The collaboration is expected to reduce mission delays, lower costs, and enhance EO data accessibility. It marks a significant step in building a vertically integrated, sovereign Space ecosystem in India, aligning with the global demand for space-based observation.
KaleidEO’s advanced payloads, combined with Dhruva’s satellite platforms, promise to accelerate mission timelines and deliver real-time insights, positioning both companies at the forefront of the Space economy.
