About ForestSat

The Operating System for Wildfire Prevention

ForestSat was built from a simple thesis: megafires are not random natural disasters. They are the terminal phase of multi-year risk accumulation that can be observed, reconstructed — and prevented — using satellite Earth Observation, remote sensing, forest science and AI.

Our Mission

From Reacting to Fires to Preventing Them

The current wildfire management paradigm is built around reaction: detect fires, dispatch resources, fight the blaze, pay the bill. This paradigm is failing. Suppression costs in the US have grown from under $2B in 1994 to a requested $6.55B for FY2026. Insurance losses are growing at 12% per year globally. Eight of the ten costliest wildfire insured events on record have occurred in the past decade.

ForestSat was created to make prevention operational — not theoretical. To turn satellite data into decisions. To make the invisible visible: the slow-building fuel accumulation, the drying vegetation, the emerging danger that satellite systems can detect years before a spark becomes a megafire.

The strategic thesis is simple: identify where fire risk is accumulating → guide preventive action → verify it was done → respond intelligently when fires start → measure and recover. This is the ForestSat lifecycle.

Founder & CEO

Ajay Goyal founded ForestSat to operationalize the science of wildfire prevention using satellite Earth Observation and AI. He is the author of the four-volume Megawildfires series on Amazon — forensic investigation of megafires from space — and has built the ForestSat platform through bootstrapped development with zero equity dilution.

Published Research

The Megawildfires Series

The book series turns ForestSat’s operational thesis into public evidence, available on Amazon. Megafires are not random — they are the terminal phase of multi-year risk accumulation that can be observed, reconstructed and prevented.

“The book series demonstrates that satellite Earth Observation can identify wildfire risk years before ignition — the scientific foundation of the ForestSat platform.”

ForestSat research approach

Research credibility: Evidence base behind the SaaS platform, establishing ForestSat’s scientific credentials with government and academic stakeholders.

Policy narrative: Explains prevention to governments, investors and insurers in accessible, documented terms.

Commercial support: Supports sales with a doctrine of measurable prevention — the same thesis the platform operationalizes.
