MapmyIndia: Enabling Smart Governance through Geospatial Data
India’s urban space is getting increasingly populated. The existing legacy city infrastructure is failing to address complex and overriding problems of transportation, streets amenities, and waste management. City governments are in need to correctly identify and address the issues of legacy infrastructure to successfully conceptualize and implement smart city model.

As transportation problem is one of the major bottlenecks in the way of smooth delivery of public services, MapmyIndia offers tools for vehicle tracking. The service provides government agencies with important information about traffic congestion on road, updates about road conditions and other road amenities. This comprehensive database is expected to bring in more efficiency, accountability and transparency in the governance. Speaking on this Sapna elaborates, “Other than bringing enhanced transparency on the availability and location of buses for daily needs, the solution can also help in calamities. In situations like floods and other disasters Govt. can broadcast information about the blocked and functional roads to mitigate the effects of disaster and facilitate relief works for citizens.”
The company offers its flagship application called ‘one map app’ to better facilitate the citizens to raise and pinpoint their complaints on map. Sapna says, “Through our flagship app now citizens can tag about power outage, street light issue on their exact location and it will be sent directly to the concerned government authority.”
For the future technological developments in its software services, company envisions working on to solve the unstructured address system issue with Digital Addressing system called eLocation. The vision is to move from 2D/3D maps based solutions to a real time Digital Twin of the country.
