In a groundbreaking development, the Survey of India (SoI), the nation’s premier National Survey and Mapping Organization, has joined forces with Genesys International, a leading Indian mapping company specializing in Geospatial solutions. This strategic partnership marks a historic collaboration, as Genesys becomes the first company to establish a public-private agreement with SoI for the creation of a three-dimensional (3D) digital twin-mapping program in India.
The collaboration aligns with India’s National Geospatial Policy 2022, emphasizing the promotion of Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) in geospatial data production and usage. The partnership underscores a pivotal move towards delivering geospatial content aligned with the National Geodetic Framework, reflecting the country’s commitment to technological advancements in mapping and urban planning.
Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical objects or systems, incorporating data, simulations, and real-time information to mirror their real-world counterparts. The technology enables continuous monitoring of physical entities and seamless integration of data from various sources for comprehensive insights.
The Survey of India and Genesys International’s strategic partnership represents a significant leap forward in the field of geospatial mapping, aligning with India’s vision for self-reliance in this critical domain. As the 3D digital twin-mapping program unfolds, it promises to revolutionize urban planning, disaster management, and various other applications, setting new standards for precision and reliability in geospatial data. This collaboration not only showcases the synergy between public and private entities but also positions India at the forefront of technological advancements in geospatial technology.
