Based in Singapore, the former Maxar Intelligence executive leads Tomorrow.io’s work with governments, meteorological agencies and enterprises across the region.
Tomorrow.io today announced that Madhav Ragam has joined the company as Vice President, Asia Pacific. Based in Singapore, he leads the company’s work across the region with governments, meteorological agencies, defense organizations, enterprises, and technology partners.
“Asia Pacific lives with some of the most severe weather on the planet, and much of it forms over ocean where ground-based systems see least. Madhav led the commercial expansion of Earth intelligence across this region at Maxar, and he knows what its governments and enterprises need. With him leading from Singapore, we can put our satellites and our weather intelligence to work for the agencies, operators and partners who have to see that weather coming.”— Shimon Elkabetz, CEO and co-founder of Tomorrow.io
The appointment puts a dedicated leader in a region that is one of the principal engines of the global economy and among the most exposed to severe and rapidly changing weather. Typhoons, intense monsoons, floods, and other compounding hazards routinely disrupt communities, supply chains, shipping routes, aviation networks, energy systems, and critical infrastructure across Asia Pacific. Much of that weather forms over vast stretches of ocean and remote territory that traditional ground-based systems observe poorly, limiting the data available to forecasters and operational decision-makers.
Ragam brings more than two decades of leadership across technology, geospatial intelligence, and the space sector. At IBM, he helped architect government solutions addressing complex operational challenges. At Maxar Intelligence, now Vantor, he led the commercial expansion of Earth intelligence across Asia Pacific. He joined Tomorrow.io in August.
“Earth observation has transformed how we understand the world below us. The next challenge is to understand the dynamic atmosphere above us and translate that understanding into decisions before disruptive weather becomes operational disruption,” said Ragam.
Tomorrow.io operates its own weather satellites. In the mid-term findings of NOAA’s Commercial Data Program, its microwave sounders were found to produce “well-calibrated data, generally comparable to ATMS,” NOAA’s flagship Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder. The company is building DeepSky, its next-generation constellation, to make the atmosphere more continuously observable, particularly over oceans, the tropics, and other historically data-sparse regions. Gale, Tomorrow.io’s AI-powered weather agent, helps teams turn that intelligence into operational decisions.
In the region, Ragam’s focus is on extending weather intelligence beyond the meteorological, defense, and national-security communities where it has traditionally been concentrated: helping disaster-management authorities deliver earlier warnings, augmenting sovereign meteorological capabilities with spaceborne observations, supporting safer aviation and maritime operations, and helping energy, transportation, and logistics organizations anticipate disruption before it reaches their networks.
“This does not require governments or enterprises to replace the systems they already trust,” Ragam said. “Tomorrow.io can complement existing infrastructure, data sources, and operational workflows—delivering additional intelligence today while DeepSky expands what will become observable tomorrow.”
About the Tomorrow.io constellation
Tomorrow.io has launched 15 satellites since 2023, and its Gen-1 constellation of microwave sounders is in orbit and operating today. The satellites read the temperature and moisture of the atmosphere through cloud, and the constellation’s global revisit now runs well below 60 minutes.
DeepSky, Tomorrow.io’s next-generation, AI-native constellation, is now being built. Its spacecraft will be substantially larger than the Gen-1 sounders, with more power, greater capability and lower latency. Each will carry five instruments that read across the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio and microwave to infrared and visible light, all in the same column of atmosphere at the same moment. DeepSky is designed to close the gaps in global observation over the open oceans and the Global South, where early warning arrives late.
Weather intelligence at work
Weather intelligence turns a forecast into an operational decision. The Tomorrow.io Resilience Platform™ is an agentic, end-to-end, multimodal geospatial workflow platform, fully accessible programmatically and built on Tomorrow.io’s AI forecasting and its own satellite constellation. Organizations use it to build workflows that create value from predictions and historical data: navigating disruptions as they unfold, getting ahead of threats to avoid disruption, and seizing the opportunities weather creates to gain an advantage. It is in use by more than half of the Fortune 10 today.
About Tomorrow.io
Tomorrow.io designs, launches and operates its own weather satellites, turns what they observe into AI forecasts, and delivers those forecasts as decisions and actions inside the daily operations of organizations around the world. It combines next-generation space technology, advanced generative AI and proprietary weather modeling, and owning the chain from the instrument in orbit to the decision on the ground gives it a global record of observations that software alone cannot copy. Selected by TIME Magazine as one of the Top 100 Most Influential Companies in the World and named No. 1 in Space on Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list for 2026, Tomorrow.io is headquartered in Boston.
