Suhora

Suhora Technologies has rapidly emerged as a innovator in the geospatial intelligence and Earth Observation (EO) analytics sector. The company vision to democratize access to high-resolution satellite data and advanced geospatial analytics for critical industries. Suhora’s core mission is to deliver actionable, near real-time insights by integrating multi-sensor satellite imagery—optical, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), thermal and, most recently, hyperspectral data—into a unified analytics platform. Suhora’s business lines span defense and intelligence, disaster management, insurance, mining, energy, environment, and infrastructure. The company’s unique value proposition lies in its ability to aggregate and analyze diverse satellite data streams, providing clients with a single point of access to global, high-frequency and high-resolution imagery.

Core Products and Services

• SPADE SaaS Platform: Subscription-based, web-accessible platform aggregating multi-sensor satellite data (optical, SAR, thermal, hyperspectral) for real-time analytics and decision support across industries.

• Satellite Data Aggregation: Access to high-resolution and medium-resolution imagery from a network of global satellite partners, including ICEYE, SatVu and Orbital Sidekick.

• Custom Analytics Solutions: Sector-specific modules for defense surveillance, disaster response, insurance risk assessment, mining exploration, environmental monitoring and infrastructure planning.

• Automated Site Assessment: Tools for rapid solar site assessment, mineral mapping, and environmental impact analysis, leveraging AI-driven geospatial techniques.

• API Integrations: Developer APIs for embedding Suhora’s analytics into third-party platforms and enterprise workflows.

 Business Model & Revenue Streams

• Revenue Generation: Suhora earns revenue through SaaS subscriptions (SPADE platform), data aggregation and analytics fees, and value-added services for custom analytics and API integrations.

• Revenue Mix: In FY24, the company’s revenue grew by 412.55%, with SaaS and data services as primary contributors. The SPADE platform’s subscription model is a key driver, while satellite partners receive a share of image sales.

• Customer Segmentation: Suhora operates a B2B model, serving government agencies, defense and intelligence organizations, insurance firms, mining and energy companies, and infrastructure developers.

• Geographic Reach: While headquartered in India, Suhora’s analytics and data services are accessible globally, with a growing client base in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.

Top Clients & Partnerships

• Strategic Satellite Partners: ICEYE (SAR data), SatVu (thermal imaging), Orbital Sidekick (hyperspectral data), Umbra, and Veng—enabling Suhora to offer a comprehensive suite of satellite imagery.

• Government and Defense: Indian defense and disaster management agencies leverage Suhora’s analytics for surveillance, risk mitigation, and emergency response.

• Insurance and Mining: Leading insurance companies and mining firms utilize Suhora’s data for risk assessment, claims validation, and mineral exploration.
