Overview

From the traditional postman finding the delivery address based on the popularity of the place or a person, to the advent of e-commerce fueled home deliveries and transportation of goods to the last mile at the right time at the right place, the correct Address Directory plays a crucial role. “You get it wrong and you risk losing your customer; you get it right, and you shall gain a customer for life”

The most essential data used in any GIS applications today is Mapping of the Address system, that is validated and standard throughout the country. Indian addresses are relatively complex as there are multiple ways of writing a single address, and there could be many missing components in an address. India faces the challenges of reliable verified data below city level and relies mostly on localized intelligence resources. Also Addressing structure varies for different cities within the country. MapmyIndia address data is created with these considerations and thus localisations are standardized without any loss of information and integrated in the overall data to maintain uniformity.
