SatSure partners with Hyderabad-based Dhruva Space to deliver EOaaS solutions

Bengaluru-based SatSure, a full-stack satellite Earth observation and decision intelligence company, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Hyderabad-based Dhruva Space, a provider of integrated space solutions.

Founded in 2017, SatSure is known for building combining geospatial data and artificial intelligence to deliver niche products across sectors such as financial services, agriculture, utilities, forestry, energy, and aviation. The company serves clients in India, Western Europe, Australia, North America, the Middle East, and Japan.

The strategic alliance is designed to integrate the two firms’ end-to-end, indigenously developed capabilities across the upstream and downstream segments of the space value chain, addressing the needs of both strategic and commercial stakeholders with high-reliability, homegrown technology.

The partnership also aims to provide one-stop-shop support for the world’s growing Space-based observation needs by combining SatSure subsidiary KaleidEO’s next-generation analytical solutions with Dhruva Space’s expertise in small satellite platforms, critical subsystems, and system integration.

“We are very excited to be joining forces with Dhruva Space, which will enable us both to harness the best of Indian ingenuity and technological prowess,” said Prateep Basu, founder and chief executive of SatSure. “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.”

Sanjay Nekkanti, founder and chief executive of Dhruva Space, called the partnership a pivotal moment in India’s space sector. “This collaboration with SatSure marks a significant step in building a vertically integrated, sovereign space ecosystem—one that bridges satellite platform development with actionable intelligence,” he said.

“By leveraging Dhruva Space’s end-to-end capabilities in platform development, launch integration, and ground infrastructure, alongside KaleidEO’s cutting-edge EO payloads and analytics, we can significantly accelerate mission timelines and deliver real-world insights across critical sectors.”

SatSure, known for its demand-driven approach to expanding the adoption of space technologies among non-traditional commercial users, spun out KaleidEO in 2022. The subsidiary has since built two high-resolution optical and multispectral Earth observation payloads.

Dhruva Space is now expanding its infrastructure with a 280,000-square-foot spacecraft manufacturing facility in Hyderabad. The facility, the first of its kind in India, is designed to support the end-to-end design, engineering, assembly, integration, and testing of spacecraft weighing up to 500 kilograms.

This partnership aims to offer a fully indigenous solution that spans payload development to platform deployment, enabling faster, more cost-effective access to high-quality Earth observation data for a wide spectrum of users across sectors.
