Value proposition
Provides sub-10m high-resolution thermal data—significantly sharper than existing 30m-100m commercial standards—enabling precise monitoring of wildfires, urban heat islands, and crop health at a granular level.
Products and solutions
High-Resolution Thermal Satellite Constellation, Thermal Intelligence Analytics Platform, Real-time Wildfire Detection & Monitoring System, Urban Heat Island Mapping Services, Precision Agriculture Thermal Feed
Unique value
Offers sub-10m resolution thermal imaging, filling a critical gap in the market where current satellite data is often too coarse for street-level or field-level thermal analysis.
Target customer
Government agencies (disaster management), agricultural enterprises, energy and utility companies, defense organizations, and insurance providers.
Industries served
Spacetech, Climate Tech, Agriculture, Energy & Utilities, Defense & Security, Insurance
Technology advantage
Combines proprietary thermal sensor technology with high-revisit constellation logic, led by a founding team with deep expertise from ISRO (satellite payloads) and AWS (space-cloud infrastructure).
How they differentiate
Provides sub-10m high-resolution thermal imaging, significantly sharper than the 30m-100m industry standard, combined with proprietary sensor technology and cost-effective deployment via the Indian space ecosystem.
Main competitors
