The digital addressing App Pataa Navigations and Indian National Space Promotion& Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) have signed an MoU to enable access to ISRO’s Geospatial Services & APIs to develop the addressing system.
The collaboration would be for the services of ISRO portals, namely Bhuvan, VEDAS, and MOSDAC, through this MoU, a press release from the company noted.
Both parties are interested in evolving indigenous addressing solutions by exchanging a combination of the satellite imagery/maps and address system through ISRO portals.
TheMoU was signed in the presence of Narendra Modi, Prime Minister, India, in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, at the inauguration of In-Space Headquarters.
Modi said, “When the strength of Government institutions and the passion of India’s private sector will meet, not even the sky will be the limit.”
The company noted that this alliance will be beneficial for the geo boundary, which in turn will benefit rural India by making loans, seed, tech facilities etc., available to the rural population.
It added that besides this, the last mile reach for E-Commerce, loan facilities, and quick reach of the ambulance will also be availed by all.
Rajat Jain, Co-Founder, Pataa, said, “This is an exciting opportunity. We are looking forward to working with the highly-proficient scientists of India to bring an address revolution.”
