About Us

PierSight Space is building the world's first and largest constellation of Synthetic Aperture Radar and AIS satellites for persistent surveillance of the oceans. Our team has deep domain expertise with several live missions under our belt.

We've raised $6.6 million across pre-seed and seed rounds from Alpha Wave Ventures, Elevation Capital, Techstars, All In Capital, and angel investors. We were part of the Techstars Space Accelerator program which is in collaboration with NASA and US Space Force.

Founders

Gaurav Seth (CEO & Co-Founder) graduate from IIST and worked at ISRO for 9 years where he was instrumental in the design and execution of five interplanetary and earth observation missions. His achievements include the development of India's first airborne foliage penetration synthetic aperture radar and the SAR imaging payload aboard Chandrayaan-2.

Vinit Bansal (CTO & Co-Founder) is a graduate in Electronics from BITS-Pilani and has spent 9 years at National Instruments building and prototyping solutions for Space and Defence Industry. While working at National Instruments he worked closely with Indian Space Research Organisation and Ministry of Defence.
