Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

A Problem worthy of Geospatial Data ?

 


 

Here is a challenge for :


Shri Rohan Vermaji ( MapmyIndia )

Shri Sajid Malikji     ( Genesys )

 

Context :

How MapmyIdia is charting the metaverse territory  /  Business Line  /  30 Nov 2021


Extract :

With over 2,000 customers across map-as-a-service, software-as-a-service (SaaS), IoT solutions and application programming interface (API), the IPO-bound tech company MapmyIndia is looking to create mapping solutions that will be high definition, 4-dimensional and built for the metaverse, showing a realistic view of the entire world with granular data points to help both the public and private sector use cases.

We are looking at creating a realistic view of the real world or a real metaverse in a high-definition 4D digital model. There will be use cases across consumers, enterprises, government, gaming, developers and automotive,” Rohan Verma, CEO and Executive Director, MapmyIndia { rohan@mapmyindia.com }

“Secondly, this is more relevant even now, our digital address system called eLoc.

Through this, any location or address in India can be represented in six characters.

It will be as helpful for delivery executives looking for a specific location as for a government which wants to know whether a particular location has got a gas connection in every household,” he said.

MapmyIndia has over 80 per cent market share in the mapping solutions category for the automotive sector in India. Beyond that, it has been working with various consumer-focused apps and the government for population-scale platforms and geospatial transformation projects.

NITI Aayog CEO launches Genesys International's digital twin platform  /  Eco Times / 03 Dec 2021


Extract :

Genesys International launched its pan India program to make the Digital Twin of entire urban India


The creation of this very accurate 3D data will mean a host of applications would open-up high definition mapping, which was hitherto not possible, for Smart Cars, e-Commerce, Logistics, gaming, utility planning for next generation networks in telecom, renewable energy and Disaster Management ,and Emergency Response

Genesys has a constellation of advanced sensors in India, consisting of aerial mobile and terrestrial systems capable of imaging at very high speeds and resolutions

Genesys has also filed patents for unique Geo-coding for addressing 3D data as well as automated capture of features from 3D Street Map Imagery

Sh. Sajid Malik, CMD, Genesys International (sol.malik@igenesys.com ), mentioned :

" The digital twin platform of urban India will herald a transformation in map usage in this country as we have mapped – literally – every inch of the city. These highly accurate 3D data – a step towards Metaverse – will mean an essential part of Digital India economy system . Now data of this kind would be available for license to a host of users “

 

MY  TAKE :

 

Dear Shri Rohan Vermaji / Shri Sajid Malikji,

 

No doubt private sector users will come forward and ask you :

“ Can your innovative Geo-Spatial Technology, help to solve XYZ problem ? “

But, it is highly unlikely that any Government department / Transport Ministry, will approach you and ask :


“ Can your Technology :


#   Help rapid change-over to Non-polluting Electric Vehicles ?

#   Help India achieve Net Zero carbon position by 2030 ?

#   Motivate people to give up private / personal vehicles and start using Public

     Tansport ?

#   Bring in Rs 1.3 lakh*crore worth TRANS-TAX based on HARM QUOTIENT of

     each vehicle ? “

 

On the other hand, I urge you to examine my following suggestion and – if convinced that your technology can, emphatically answer “ YES “, to questions listed above, then send in your proposal to Shri Nitin Gadkariji :
