GIS Boom on the
Planet Earth
“Geographic Information System is the God of all the
technologies right now. One can implement GIS in most of
the fields. It will be right to say that, there is a GIS Boom
on the Planet Earth.”

Challenges Faced While Entering In The Atmosphere
Of Corporate Sphere:
1. Survey and Mapping: Land surveying for urban and
rural development with the help of the most advanced laser
and satellite collaborated instruments, helps to acquire data
and the same data can be visualized in 3D. Water bodies or
an ocean survey like hydrographic and Bathymetric survey
helps to understand user, underwater world till the depth of
4500m deep sea in 3D; hydrography is also used for pre
and post dredging and Geo-Thermal Activities.
2. Urban Management Application: Urban management
application helps to monitor massive urban big data, with
statistical land records and demography. It can also be
customized according to the different country’s
governments urbanization policies and parameters for
accurate and analytic urban agglomeration data output.
3. Location Based Services: Location Intelligence, Site
suitability analysis, Geo-fencing, usage based insurance,
vehicle fleet management and real time product tracking
are few examples of location based services. Location
Based Service is very much important these days, to
rehabilitate a business location in another country or a
market research for setting up a product or services. We can
also monitor the spread of Disease with the help of
Artificial Intelligence.
4. Smart City: A Smart city is never an expensive city, but;
it is a most resourceful city at comparatively affordable
rates. Smart mobility where effective public transport -
improves traffic flow, Smart water where high quality
water supply catering to growth population and smart
planning where expansion of city is pre planned till next
100 years with Machine Learning.
5. Infrastructure Management: Mega Structures can also
be visualized and monitored in 3D and can be managed
with customized parameters and querying filters. With the
help of more advanced GIS automated software and real
1. It is a critical task to maintain cash flow for a startup
consultancy:
For a startup infrastructure cost and overhead expenses
holds the major percentage. Travelling one place to
another to meet clients and vendors, Getting participated in
National/International conferences to understand the
market up gradation, setting up meetings with several
small, medium and high profile industrialists; needs a
heavy and constant cash flow.
2. To run multiple projects with limited cash and to
stick with Pre-planned business project model: A Startup
company breathes on the project out sourced. It is not at all
difficult to get collaborated with some of the genuine
companies by communication development and human
networking. The main obstacle is when you invest in
particular project and money inflow is inversely opposite.
But Work input is more important than money, so it is
tricky to run multiple projects with low cash
reimbursement from multiple clients and money
management.
3. All the Governmental GIS projects have tremendous
Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) to bid the Tender: The
technology we are dealing with is very much expensive as
it is most advanced, effective and well oriented. In every
country, GIS data is majorly produced by country’s own
government. Therefore, in India any GIS project’s tender
EMD (Earnest Money Deposit) amount is extremely high
as per the project requirement with the locking period of
the EMD amount. All Government sectors has pre-defined
eligibility for minimum work experience to bid for the
tender, but there is no chance for any fresh company to
participate for the tender because the tender parameters are
already sequenced in an order to win by the big GIS
Players. So, now how the fresh, new and very high
technical skill manpower startup company will grow in
India, is the big Question.
