SUNNYVALE, Calif. – June 20, 2019 – Druva, Inc., the leader in Cloud Data Protection and Management, today announced a $130 million investment led by Viking Global Investors, pushing total capital raised to $328 million. The round also included participation from new investors including certain funds advised by Neuberger Berman and Atreides Management, as well as existing investors including Riverwood Capital, Tenaya Capital, and Nexus Venture Partners.

Druva’s success has been fueled by the rapid growth of enterprise cloud adoption, a massive proliferation in data, and an evolving regulatory landscape. At the same time, the data protection industry has continued to expand significantly, with a market size expected to reach $55 billion by 2020 according to IDC*. Built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Druva is a SaaS solution in a market dominated by legacy hardware vendors, enabling customers to eliminate complexity and drive down costs by up to 50 percent. Druva’s patented technology delivers all-in-one backup, disaster recovery, archival and analytics solutions that deploy in a single click and provide 360-degree visibility and control across all environments. To date, over 4,000 enterprise customers have placed their trust in Druva, including 10 percent of the Fortune 500, such as Pfizer, Flex, Marriott, Live Nation, and Hitachi.

“Riverwood is thrilled to be increasing its investment in Druva,” said Harish Belur, Managing Director, Riverwood Capital. “Since our original investment around two years ago, the company’s growth and success has surpassed our expectations. Druva’s unique approach to the large and growing data protection market is transformative to the industry and is validated by some of the world’s largest companies and the most demanding customers. We look forward to Druva’s next phase of growth and are excited to be a part of the journey.”

“The line between data and business is blurring. The data management market is forecasted to be worth $55B next year, yet the landscape is dominated by solutions that are 20 years old. Druva is disrupting the way enterprises protect and leverage their data with a modern, cloud-native SaaS platform,” said Jaspreet Singh, founder and CEO, Druva. “Today’s funding will help Druva to power data protection for the cloud era, and accelerate our momentum to better serve the needs of enterprise customers.”

Additional quotes from the industry

“Druva is a leading Advanced Technology Partner in the AWS Partner Network,” said Mike Clayville, Vice President Worldwide Commercial Sales, and Business Development, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Druva’s solutions powered by AWS are changing the way data is managed and protected at thousands of companies globally. We’d like to congratulate Druva on its latest fundraise, and look forward to innovating with Druva to create new solutions that benefit our customers.”

“The challenges of data management continue to grow as enterprise data becomes more distributed across hosted SaaS, branch offices, public clouds and endpoints; as well as the traditional datacenter,” said Steven Hill, Senior Analyst, 451 Research. “Hybrid IT is rapidly becoming the norm, and companies like Druva that focus on reducing complexity, protecting data and managing information regardless of a physical location can offer strategic advantages over those that are not as evolved.”

“As Druva’s first investor, Sequoia India saw great potential in Jaspreet and the transformative nature of the product the Druva team was building,” said Shailendra Singh, Managing Director, Sequoia Capital (India) Singapore. “Druva’s product capabilities and market adoption have continued to surprise us ever since. We remain excited about Druva’s cloud-native architecture for enterprise data protection at scale and believe it will be a category-defining company for data protection in the cloud era.”
