MapmyIndia is India’s leader in mapping and geographical technologies. Many parts of the developing world lack detailed maps, and MapmyIndia seeks to fill this data gap in India.
MapmyIndia was founded in 1992 by Rakesh Verma and Rashmi Verma. From there, it boasts a bold history, “the company ventured into the GIS arena in 1994…when few had envisioned the immense benefits that geo-data could bring to governments, businesses, and individuals, MapmyIndia set out on a mission to digitally map all of India. MapmyIndia pioneered the usage of geo-data based services and products in India across the spectrum of consumers, automotive companies, corporate and government bodies,” reads the company’s website.
MapmyIndia works like many other place-based, mobile, navigation tools, but is specifically designed to help users navigate their way through India. The app provides users with step-by-step directions, as well as highlights points of interest in the area. MapmyIndia is a useful geographic tool for anyone maneuvering through India.
