A native of India and consummate entrepreneur, Rishi Daga, CEO of EagleView, ran his first steel factory at the age of 17.

EagleView's products have modernized workflows across industries, whether by supporting first responders in the aftermath of a natural disaster or helping insurers make faster, safer, and more accurate remote property assessments.
"EagleView has always had a culture of delivering innovation through the hustle, hard work, and raw potential of our people and we view Bengaluru as a catalyst for this continued innovation," said Daga. "We are excited to establish our largest R&D center to further expand our capabilities in the areas of cloud services, computer vision, machine learning, and aerial imagery in Bengaluru."
