Bengaluru-:Subramanya Joshi-(Karnataka) Jul 6,2025
In a landmark move aimed at strengthening India’s sovereign capabilities in the global space economy, Bengaluru-based Earth Observation (EO) intelligence firm SatSure has entered into a strategic alliance with Hyderabad-headquartered Dhruva Space, a full-stack space engineering company. The collaboration marks the formation of India’s first comprehensive Earth Observation-as-a-Service (EOaaS) platform—integrating satellite design, payload development, launch services, ground segment infrastructure, and analytical intelligence under one umbrella.
The partnership, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), seeks to combine the core strengths of both organizations. SatSure’s wholly-owned subsidiary KaleidEO, which recently achieved successful qualification of its sub-meter optical and multispectral payloads, brings cutting-edge EO analytics and sensor technology to the table. Meanwhile, Dhruva Space contributes its robust infrastructure, including India’s largest private satellite integration and testing facility, designed to support spacecrafts up to 500 kg.
“Harnessing the best of Indian ingenuity”
Prateep Basu, Founder & CEO of SatSure, described the partnership as a significant milestone in India’s space-tech evolution. “We are very excited to join forces with Dhruva Space to bring together the best of Indian ingenuity and technological prowess. This collaboration will enhance our sovereign Earth observation capabilities while offering turnkey solutions to customers who demand both high-quality EO data and decision intelligence,” he said.
Vertically integrated ecosystem
Dhruva Space Founder & CEO Sanjay Nekkanti echoed the sentiment, highlighting the strategic value of a vertically integrated EO ecosystem. “This partnership bridges the gap between satellite hardware and analytical insights, allowing us to deliver end-to-end EOaaS solutions. By combining our satellite platform expertise with KaleidEO’s payloads and analytics stack, we can significantly compress mission timelines and bring impactful EO services to sectors critical to national and global needs,” said Nekkanti.
