Druva Inc.

Druva Inc.

Druva Inc. was founded in 2008 by Jaspreet Singh, W. Curtis Preston, and Ramani Kothandaraman, emerging as a cloud-native alternative to traditional data backup and recovery vendors. The company operates out of Sunnyvale, California, with additional engineering and sales presence in Pune, India, and London, UK, reflecting a global footprint. Druva's strategy centers on a fully SaaS-delivered platform covering data protection, governance, and analytics across endpoints, data centers, and cloud workloads. The company's asset-class mix spans enterprise software, cloud infrastructure, and cybersecurity, with deployments targeting mid-to-large enterprises. Named customers include major organizations across healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing sectors. The company has raised over $450 million in venture funding from investors including Riverwood Capital, Viking Global Investors, and NTT Finance (per Crunchbase, 2021). Geographic revenue is primarily North America and Europe. Druva employs approximately 1,200 people as of 2021 (per public records). The firm maintains an engineering hub in Pune, India, and a sales office in London. In August 2023, Druva completed a $147 million debt financing round from existing investors to support growth and operational scaling (per the firm, August 2023). The company's philanthropic efforts are not publicly separated from its corporate operations. Druva's structural differentiator lies in its fully cloud-native architecture — a pure SaaS model that eliminates the need for customers to manage backup infrastructure, unlike legacy competitors such as Veritas or Dell EMC. This approach reduces capital expenditure and operational overhead for enterprises migrating to hybrid or multi-cloud environments.
