Aruna Technologies

What Aruna Technologies does

Aruna Technologies (legal entity: Aruna Technology Ltd) is a Cambodia-headquartered geomatics firm providing survey, mapping, GIS, GNSS/GPS, drone/UAV, LiDAR, and remote sensing solutions across the Greater Mekong Sub-region, with offices in Phnom Penh and Vientiane. The company operates a dual business model combining authorized hardware and software distribution with project-based professional services. As the sole authorized distributor in Cambodia for Trimble survey products, ESRI ArcGIS software, Garmin GPS devices, and senseFly/Parrot eBee drones, plus a five-country RapidEye satellite imagery territory, Aruna resells third-party geospatial technology and pairs it with end-to-end service delivery — including drone aerial survey, 3D mapping and modeling, cadastral and topographic surveys, forest and land cover mapping (including REDD+), GIS consultancy, and ESRI-authorized training.

Aruna serves a diversified client base of government ministries, multilateral development banks (notably ADB), NGOs, mining operators, water utilities, and academic institutions across Cambodia and adjacent markets. Notable engagements include a 4,900-hectare UAV survey for Asia Svay Rieng Water, ADB-financed cadastral and topographic surveys under SIWRMP, Detailed Engineering Design for Cambodia's Doppler Weather Radar Building, and Trimble R12i supply for UXO detection at the LXML Sepon mine in Laos. The technical stack relies on industry-standard platforms (ArcGIS, Pix4D, Google Earth, Garmin Basecamp) and proprietary Cambodia-specific geospatial datasets, including an exclusive detailed Cambodia GPS map and the CLEAR (Cambodia Land and Environment Atlas and Resource) spatial database.

The firm is privately held, bootstrapped (no external funding rounds disclosed), and led by Managing Director Jeffrey Himel and Technical Director Paul Gager. Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees, and no revenue figures are publicly available. Its competitive position rests on multi-vendor exclusive distribution agreements, local geodetic expertise referencing Cambodia Geodetic Datum 2009, and long-tenured relationships with Cambodian government and ADB-funded programs rather than proprietary technology or AI differentiation.
