With 850 employees and 1,000 contract staffs, EagleView Technologies serves over 50,000 customers in the US and Canada.

“Our goal is to globalize the business from India, not to build a back office to support the global business. In the next 24 months, we will invest 350 crores in India, aspiring  to source and recruit top talent up to 500 people by next year-end, including product innovators who will work with our engineers to create global products, go-to-market experts who will market to our customers around the world and the strongest engineering talent that we can find. Fifteen to 20 per cent of our hires will comprise freshers who will be trained in-house for periods ranging from 3-9 months,” highlighted Rishi Daga, CEO at EagleView Technologies.

EagleView believes to have over 200 million users of its software globally, and considers Microsoft, IBM, SAP, and Oracle as its main peers. Company also captured its one-billionth image last week.  With US as its primary market, EagleView delivers proprietary high-resolution aerial imagery through planes and drones combined with the application of computer vision and machine learning to generate on-demand, real time information, insights and analytics to serve customers across the Insurance, Government, Energy and Roofing sectors.

Robert F Smith, Founder, Chairman and CEO at Vista Equity Partners, an investment firm focused on software, data and technology-enabled businesses and EagleView’s primary investor said, “We are inaugurating the EagleView R&D centre in India. While our portfolio companies separately hired over 1,500 people in India last year, we want to create an enterprise-class hiring mechanism with the right partners who can work with us for hiring and training employees for our companies in Pune, Bangalore and Gurugram.”
