About Peliqan

Peliqan was founded in 2022 by industry veterans with a single goal: to disrupt how teams collaborate on data. The company is headquartered in Ghent, Belgium and has offices in Bangalore, India.

Peliqan is a cloud-based SaaS solution, with the optional ability to deploy in your own private cloud using Kubernetes. Peliqan is an all-in-one data platform that brings together all aspects of a Modern Data Stack, including a data warehouse (built-in or bring your own), a rich only data discovery UI with magical SQL, and a low-code Python IDE and run-time for data activation. Peliqan provides data lineage and data cataloging out of the box.
