Revolutionizing Maritime Surveillance

At PierSight, we're on a mission to transform the maritime industry through cutting-edge technology. We understand the critical need for persistent surveillance over the world's oceans, and we've harnessed the power of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites to provide unparalleled coverage at a fraction of the current data costs.

Our Vision

Our Vision

Oceans cover 70% of the Earth's surface area. Yet, we have very limited visibility of what happens out there. Illegal fishing, oil spills, and contraband smuggling are just some of the activities that go largely undetected. We want to bring visibility to all human footprints at sea so that we can help protect the environment and make maritime commerce more efficient.

Our Story

Our Story

PierSight has been close to a decade in the making. While Gaurav has been working on SAR since his early days at ISRO, Vinit was building prototypes and solutions for the aerospace and defense sector while at National Instruments. They met while collaborating on an ISRO project back in 2019. The rest, as they say, is history.
