Druva was founded in 2008 by Jaspreet Singh, Milind Borate, and Ramani Kothandaraman. While CEO Singh stated that "the best outcome for Druva is, obviously, to be a public company," he added that a timeline was "to be seen." These comments should not be interpreted to mean that the company is formally pursuing or foregoing an IPO.
