Druva Inc. is a privately-held software company based in Sunnyvale, California. The company provides SaaS-based data protection and management products for corporations and government agencies. Druva products aggregate enterprise data from endpoints, data center, and cloud workloads for backup and restore, compliance monitoring, security, and other uses. The company was founded in 2008, raised several rounds of funding, and grew to more than 800 employees. <-- This way the Lead summarizes the entire page and not just the Products section.

History
In 2008, Jaspreet Singh (CEO), Milind Borate (CTO), and Ramani Kothandaraman, who met working together at Veritas Software, founded Druva in Pune, India. In Sanskrit, "druva" translates to "North Star". Initially, Druva focused on providing data management software to financial companies before shifting to general enterprise data management.

In 2010, the company received Series A funding. In 2011, the company added smartphone support for its inSync app and received Series B funding. The next year, the company moved its headquarters to Silicon Valley, and again shifted focus to cloud-based data management and protection. (, Druva continued to operates an R&D facility in Pune, where the company was originally based. ) <-- Suggest moving this to another section or trimming, because this is just a current fact about our operations, not "history" By 2013, the company had grown 194 employees. NASA and Pfizer were Druva's clients. <-- I presume name-dropping clients is not generally considered proper The company raised Series C funding the same year.

In 2014, Druva released its Phoenix server backup product and received Series D funding. By 2016, the company had grown to 400 employees, and set up a subsidiary in Japan and an office in Tokyo. Druva received more funding and FedRAMP authority to operate in 2017. In 2019, Druva grew to 750 employees and more than 4,000 customers, and opened an office in Singapore. The company also received additional late-stage funding, which brought its total amount invested to $328 million and its total valuation to more than $1 billion.

Acquisitions
In 2018, Druva acquired Letterkenny-based CloudRanger, a back-up and disaster recovery company. In 2019, Druva acquired CloudLanes to supplement its on-premises to cloud performance. '''The following year it acquired sfApex, a Texas based backup and migration company focused on Salesforce data. In April 2021, Druva raised $147 million in its eighth funding round, valuing the company at about $2 billion. ''' <-- Adding recent acquisitions using third-party sources like The Economic Times

Products
Druva creates and sells data protection and management products to companies and government agencies. These products aggregate enterprise data from endpoints, data centers, and cloud workloads for backup and restore, disaster recovery, archival and retention, compliance monitoring, data forensics, and other uses. The company offers the following products:


 * Druva inSync – for endpoint devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets as well as SaaS applications such as G Suite and Office 365

<-- In order to comply with Wikipedia is not a product catalogue
 * Druva CloudRanger – for AWS services and workloads

All of Druva's products operate on the Druva Cloud Platform, a same cloud-native backup platform built on AWS Amazon Web Services that provides a centralized backup repository. <-- This platform is now called The Druva Data Resiliency Cloud and AWS is not an obvious acronym

Druva, Inc. has applied for and been granted a number of US patents related to data protection and management. <-- To trim a primary source

'''Druva is focused on storing data in backups and managing those backups for servers, Software-as-a-Service applications, and cloud-based software.  For example, in 2018 it introduced features that restore computer systems compromised by ransomware and specialized technology for backups of SQL servers, Azure directories, and network-attached storage.
