MapMyIndia CEO urges everyone to be Aatmanirbhar
- ByStartupStory | March 2, 2022
MapmyIndia’s Mappls Super is the consumer app and portal for maps, navigation, tracking, safety, local services, and more (previously called MapmyIndia Move). This app had won Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat App Innovation Challenge in the Others category for its unique indigenous solution for ensuring hyperlocal discovery.
“The world’s most advanced digital maps, geospatial software, and location-based IoT technologies providing products, platforms, APIs, and solutions,” according to the team.
Rakesh Verma and Rashmi Verma, the founders of MapmyIndia, took a significant risk by putting maps online. When CE Infosystems was founded in 1995, India did not have the same map-reading culture as the United States.
Rakesh and Rashmi, on the other hand, predicted that the Indian digital maps sector would expand and that 80 percent of all data will have a geographical component. The pair launched the business with Rs 50 lakh they accumulated while working at GM and IBM in the United States.
MapmyIndia took advantage of this and began to monetize its map services through consumer apps, navigation devices, licensing, map APIs, tracking, and analytics, among other things.
The company has expanded its location technology expertise, particularly in the areas of navigation, tracking, IoT, and analytics, to provide products, services, and solutions to over 10 million end-users, including individuals, businesses, and government agencies.
It served customers in a variety of industries, including automotive, e-commerce, banking and insurance, space tech, and others. Tata Motors, Hyundai, Mahindra & Mahindra, BMW, Ford, Jaguar, TVS Motors, and others use MapmyIndia’s built-in digital map solutions. Its maps are also used by Flipkart, Amazon, and Ola.
