What for ?
For fulfilling it’s promise to introduce its technology
in India, in Hindi
When did it
promise
?
Following is my 4 YEAR old exchange of e-mails with
What3Words :
Here is what I wrote to www.What3words.com :
Dear Chloe,
Many thanks for your prompt response
Here is a question :
As far as I can make out, your system is
two-dimensional ( surface area based )
How can it be improvised to track / locate
properties located 1000 ft above the ground level , in a multi-storied building
? ( 3 dimensions )
On each floor of a residential or commercial
building , there are apartments / offices , belonging to different owners
Local governments ( eg; Municipal Corporations of
towns / cities ) , do assign / allot an ID ( alpha-numeric digit number ) to
such properties to keep track and collect property taxes . This results in a
large number of local databases, each differently designed / accessed . Quite
often, these are paper-based !
But there is no CENTRAL / COMMON DATABASE of all
the properties ( not merely land parcels ) in a country, which can be accessed
by different government agencies from any city
At least in India , this ( lack of a CENTRAL /
COMMON DATABASE of apartments – offices etc ) has become a BIG issue since
billions of dollars’ worth of properties are purchased with BLACK MONEY , in
the names of non-existent persons !
Indian Government is looking for a solution where
each and every property is given a UNIQUE ID and also linked with Unique “
Aadhar Numbers (https://uidai.gov.in/)
“ already issued to over 1200 MILLION persons over the past 4 years
Do you think your system could provide a fool-proof
solution ?

With a 3 word address, we recommend
a similar approach, e.g. Flat 6, 5th floor, index.home.raft In terms of indoor addressing, what3words covers all locations in 2D, but the supporting technology (indoor
positioning, indoor mapping, indoor navigation) is not yet widespread enough
for there to be any great benefit of specifying a point with height included. However, if and when height becomes
helpful to specify, we have various options for including this information with the 3 word
address.

I would not be surprised if Amazon
offers to buy out What3Words ,
considering what Chloe wrote to me ( below ) :

Dear Hemen,
Thank you for passing this on !
We are working on several more Indian languages at
the moment. Hopefully they will all help
with adoption in India.
All best wishes,
Chloe
