Comment: Good work so far on this article. However, unfortunately, in order to prove notability, an article needs to references 2-3 sources which are reliable, independent, secondary sources, which talk about the subject of the Wikipedia article at length. In addition, it still reads too much like an advertisement / AI. The best idea is to find 2-3 strong independent sources, and then rewrite the article from scratch using the information contained in those sources alone. Good luck.

Grepsr (/ɡrɛpsər/) is a privately held Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) company headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with a registered entity in Delaware, United States and operations in Kathmandu, Nepal. Founded in January 2012 by Amit Chaudhary and Subrat Basnet, the company provides managed web data extraction services to enterprises across industries including e-commerce, financial services, real estate, healthcare, travel, automotive, and management consulting.
Etymology
The name "Grepsr" is derived from "grep", a Unix command-line utility for searching plain-text data sets for lines matching a regular expression, and the suffix "-sr", an abbreviation for service.[1]
History
Founding (2012)
Grepsr originated as a weekend project by Nepali schoolmates Amit Chaudhary and Subrat Basnet while the pair were based in Australia. The founders subsequently returned to Nepal and formally established the company in Kathmandu in January 2012.[1] The company was bootstrapped from inception, funded from the founders' personal savings.
Growth (2012–2022)
By the end of 2012, Grepsr's user base had grown to approximately 300 registered users.[2] The company expanded its data extraction infrastructure while remaining bootstrapped, and by 2018 reported users in more than 40 countries, with clients including Target, Groupon, Twitter, GE Capital, and the Boston Consulting Group.[2]
In December 2022, Grepsr became a Premium Partner of Datarade's Data Commerce Cloud, a marketplace and distribution platform for data products, making its datasets available to data buyers via the Datarade Marketplace.
Recent developments (2023–present)
By 2023, Grepsr reported surpassing 500 million records processed per day. The company subsequently introduced a synthetic data generation service for artificial intelligence and machine learning training use cases, and a no-code extraction tool branded as Pline. As of 2025, the company reported processing more than 700 million records daily and serving over 400 organisations across more than 40 countries.
Products and services
Managed Data-as-a-Service
Grepsr's core offering is a fully managed DaaS product in which its engineering and data operations teams handle the data extraction pipeline on behalf of clients. Customers specify target websites, data fields, and output frequency; Grepsr builds and maintains custom web crawlers accordingly. Extracted data is delivered in formats including CSV, JSON, XML, XLSX, YAML, and Apache Parquet, via channels such as email, Dropbox, FTP, Amazon S3, webhooks, and Slack.
Web Scraping API
Grepsr offers a web scraping API enabling programmatic access to its extraction infrastructure. The API handles JavaScript rendering, CAPTCHA resolution, and proxy rotation, and is designed to scale to millions of pages.
Data Management Platform
Grepsr's Data Management Platform is a self-service interface that allows users to manage, schedule, and monitor data extraction workflows from a single dashboard. The platform enables clients to configure scrapers, set delivery preferences, track crawler performance, and access historical datasets independently.
Pline
Pline is a no-code data extraction tool developed by Grepsr, intended for users who need to configure and run web scraping tasks without engineering support.
Synthetic data
Grepsr offers a synthetic data generation service targeting enterprises building or fine-tuning AI and machine learning models. The service generates algorithmically produced records based on real-world dataset structures, addressing privacy, legal, and data scarcity constraints.
Pre-packaged datasets
In addition to custom extraction services, Grepsr offers a catalogue of pre-packaged datasets covering e-commerce products and reviews, stock market data, company firmographic data, B2B contact data, and transport and logistics data.
Industries served
Grepsr serves clients across multiple industries including e-commerce, financial services, real estate, healthcare, travel and hospitality, automotive, management consulting, and artificial intelligence development.
Operations
Grepsr's primary engineering and data delivery functions operate from Kathmandu, Nepal, with its headquarters in Dubai, UAE and a corporate entity registered in Delaware, United States. The company's infrastructure parses data from more than 10,000 distinct web sources. Individual client crawlers are built to specification rather than using generic scraping templates.
Notable clients
Publicly identified clients include Boston Consulting Group, Pearson, Rightmove, and Roku.[2]
Competitive landscape
Grepsr operates in the web data extraction and DaaS market. According to Mordor Intelligence, the global web scraping services market was estimated at approximately US$1.03 billion in 2025, with projections of US$2.23 billion by 2031.[3] Competitors in this space include Bright Data (formerly Luminati Networks), Zyte (formerly Scrapinghub), Apify, and ScrapeHero, among others.
