Genesys Ltd:- Innovating IP led Geospatial Solutions to drive the economy.

Chennai , 26 November, 2009: Twenty years ago, on Valentine’s Day, a rocket blasted off carrying a satellite, forever changing our ability to understand the world. On that day, first of a constellation of 24 sattelites that makes up the Global Positioning System (GPS) was launched.

GPS can be used to make maps, survey land, search and rescue, hunt for treasure, arrange car pools, track endangered species, monitor oil spills and – by shutting down his phone above a certain speed – stop your teenage son from texting while driving the family car.

Genesys Ltd. has been at the forefront of this technology in India to actively use Geographical Information Systems (GIS). It is today, one of India’s fastest growing Geospatial Services and Content Providers.

Growth drivers for the company –

There are two heartening trends fueling in the industry. The first being that large corporates like Microsoft, Nokia / Navteq, Digital Globe and Google Earth are continuing to play an important role in bringing geo data and the hence the use of GIS to as many areas in business. Their deep technical as well as marketing infrastructure augurs well for the future of many newer application areas. Genesys works closely with most of these majors.

From next year onwards, the availability of Navteq street data for most Indian cities and highways will fill a major gap in the needs of Indian consumers. Genesys is the exclusive Reseller for Navteq data for the Enterprise space in India. Navteq is the world leader in navigable maps and street data.

Another Growth Driver is the adoption of GIS in India's infrastructure needs. India has the rich legacy of The Great Indian Trigonometric survey, which took place more than 125 years ago. The survey, which began from the tip of South India to ultimately the discovery of Mount Everest and the Himalayas, was hailed as one of the biggest scientific endeavors in the world. It mapped the entire Indian sub-continent, provided the foundation layer for many of the infrastructure projects (railways, dams, town planning etc) and revenue administration for the sub-continent. The sheer scale of this mapping exercise has been undertaken with equipment weighing hundreds of tons.

The current mapping exercise conducted by Genesys may be the biggest civilian mapping exercise ever done in Independent India. The knowledge and experience we have gained has been immense.

The Company has covered all major cities and most of the major highways in India; we see the value of what good geo data content can do for the better administration in India.
