New Delhi, 1 February 2025 – The Association of Geospatial Industries (AGI), in collaboration with its member Geospatial World, organized an impactful Investors Roundtable on  Investors Roundtable, brought together key industry players, including investors, technology providers, and service companies, to discuss opportunities and challenges in the rapidly evolving geospatial sector.

In his welcome address, Nikhil Kumar, President of AGI, highlighted the transformative role of geospatial technology in India’s economic growth. “2021 was a watershed moment for India’s geospatial industry with the release of the National Geospatial Policy, unlocking new sectors and space-driven growth. Today, we gather to demystify and simplify these opportunities,” he said.

Kumar emphasized that geospatial technology is pivotal across multiple sectors, from boosting agricultural productivity by 25-30% to enhancing broadband networks, improving urbanization, and increasing access to clean drinking water. He added, “From planning to design, development, operation, and maintenance—every stage of infrastructure and urban projects is directly influenced by geospatial technology.”

The discussions also explored key themes around data collection, crowdsourced data, and the need for unified platforms to integrate and aggregate diverse data sources. “The digital transformation of geospatial applications is accelerating, driven by AI, digital twins, big data analytics, and deep tech,” Kumar noted.

Srikant Sashtri, Chairman of the Geospatial Data Promotion and Development Committee (GDPDC), explained the committee’s critical role in driving liberalization within the sector. He elaborated on the GDPDC’s efforts to revamp India’s outdated mapping and data infrastructure, noting that this modernization is a priority to ensure India keeps pace with global developments.

“Our vision is to build a robust data and technology infrastructure that enables seamless access to location-tagged data, fostering innovation and economic value within India’s private sector and startup ecosystem,” Sashtri added.

The roundtable also touched on pivotal questions regarding the support needed for geospatial startups, bridging the gap between startups and investors, and creating a conducive policy environment.
