“Over the next 12 months, Genesys is working to cover all urban India street imaging, spanning over a million kilometres, making this the largest street imaging exercise in the country,” Sajid Malik, managing director of Genesys International, told ET. Genesys International said it had currently mapped 150,000 “unique kilometres.” To be sure, Mumbai is spread across 5,000 unique kilometers. Its parent company Mahindra and Mahindra is the logistics service provider, while it has partnered with another company for the specialized cameras that will capture the high-resolution street imagery. The ultimate objective is to license this data back to Google,” Sen said. We have started with Andhra Pradesh and want to cover 19 states by May 2023. “We are looking forward to 700,000 km of data collection across the country over the next couple of years. “We will be using our electric rickshaws (which have a narrow body) mounted with cameras to navigate remote corners and capture street imagery,” Birendra Sen, business head, business process services, at Tech Mahindra, told ET. On its partnership with Google, Tech Mahindra said it was leveraging the geospatial guidelines for its project Gullyfy (Gully means street in Hindi) to collect terrestrial data across India. “We have a much larger and more advanced RealView and our 3D metaverse coverage helps both consumers and enterprises. “As an Indian company competing with a monopolistic big-tech foreign giant for the consumer market,” MapmyIndia’s aims to show how indigenous, home grown deep-tech companies are giving “advanced capabilities to users in the areas of maps,” CEO Rohan Verma told ET. The service will be available on the digital mapping firm's consumer mapping portal Mappls on the web and Mappls App on Android and iOS.
Meanwhile, the Indian rival to Google Maps, MapmyIndia has also launched its own 360-degree panoramic street view offering called Mappls RealView.
