The Bengaluru-based company, which was founded in 2017 by Prateep Basu, Rashmit Singh Sukhmani and Abhishek Raju, has remained bootstrapped until now, and works with brands such as ICICI Bank, Reliance General Insurance, and Samunnati Finance among others to sell its insights on crop health and predictive analytics. ”The company said it will utilise the capital to double its team from 50 to 100 people by the end of the current fiscal, while also growing the number of businesses it sells its software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions to and growing its presence in markets outside of India as well. The company has partnered with Bellatrix Aerospace to utilise its hybrid propulsion systems for its satellites. Earlier this year, SatSure said it would launch a fleet of remote sensing micro satellites starting from 2022 to meet the growing need for high-resolution images needed by the aviation, banking, insurance and transportation sectors.
