GalaxEye

GalaxEye is a space technology startup based in Bengaluru, India, founded in May 2021 by five IIT Madras graduates.

The company is developing the Drishti Mission, the world’s first commercial multi-sensor imaging satellite that combines Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and multispectral optical (MSI) sensors. This innovative satellite aims to provide high-resolution, all-weather, day-and-night Earth observation imagery, addressing the limitations of traditional single-sensor satellites. GalaxEye operates on a Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) model, offering actionable satellite data and analytics to various sectors, including government, defense, agriculture, disaster management, and infrastructure. The company has raised approximately $14 million in funding from notable investors and plans to launch the Drishti satellite in 2025. With its proprietary OptoSAR sensing system, GalaxEye is set to deliver reliable and consistent geospatial analytics, enhancing decision-making capabilities across multiple industries.
