The core team-founders Gaurav Bubna, Ajay Bulusu, and Shaolin Zheng -has incredible experience in the mapping space, previously leading the geospatial data platform at the Southeast Asian app Grab in Singapore. They have demonstrated success in building-for-scale and have established a strong reputation in the OpenStreetMap community.
The team plans to use this latest round of funding to accelerate their expansion into North America and other global markets and advance their product roadmap. I am excited to work alongside existing investors Lightspeed and Falcon Edge Capital, and look forward to joining the NextBillion.ai board. Congratulations to Gaurav, Ajay, Shaolin, and the entire team on this major milestone. NextBillion.ai is a transformative and disruptive player in the geospatial space, and we look forward to your continued growth.
