- **Genesys International is India’s first and largest private-sector digital-map maker, a company that has spent two decades building the country’s most detailed navigable road network and 3D city models - essentially, the operating system for location on the subcontinent. It began in 1995 as a photogrammetry pioneer and later created 3D content for more than 200 global cities for Microsoft’s Bing Maps, before a pivotal 2022 government policy liberalized the geospatial sector while mandating that only Indian-controlled entities can collect high-accuracy data, handing Genesys a protected home market. Its recurring approach is to own the hardest layer - the physical data-collection fleet and the proprietary map stack - and then sell access to that layer through licences, platforms and project contracts to whoever needs to know where things are.** # Business segments Three engines at different stages - a foundational map-content platform, a fast-scaling automotive software stack, and a project-services business that turns the same data into government and infrastructure contracts - all fed by one proprietary sensor fleet. ## 1. The India Map Stack: the digital floorplan of a nation **A proprietary library of 2D, high-definition and 3D map data covering the entire country, built once and sold many times as a licence, an API or a platform.** - **Protected by policy** - under the National Geospatial Policy 2022, only Indian-controlled entities can collect geospatial data finer than one-metre horizontal accuracy, which means foreign competitors must subscribe to an Indian firm’s data rather than build their own. - **Street-level imagery at national scale** - the company has driven more than three million kilometres to capture 360° panoramic views covering roughly 1.3 million kilometres of Indian roads, giving automotive OEMs the raw material for immersive, context-rich navigation. - **HD maps for the driverless age** - launched in late 2025, the high-definition map layer covers more than one lakh kilometres of national highways and expressways at centimetre-grade precision, capturing lane geometry, road markings, barriers and signage that ADAS and autonomous systems need. - **Self-updating through AI** - an edge-based incremental update system pushes fresh map data over the air, while machine-learning models extract traffic signs from the company’s own street imagery and assess road-surface quality automatically, so the map improves without a human in the loop. ## 2. Connected mobility: the cockpit software that sits on top of the map **A suite of in-car navigation, ADAS and AI-powered services sold to automakers, turning the map stack into a recurring per-vehicle licence fee.** - **A full cockpit stack** - the offering bundles standard and high-definition maps with conversational AI search, intelligent speed assistance, augmented-reality navigation and a charge-aware EV routing engine, so an automaker gets a single supplier for everything the driver sees on screen. - **Won the Tata Motors platform** - in October 2025 the company secured a six-year contract to supply native navigation and ADAS maps for Tata Motors’ software-defined vehicle platform, earning a licence fee per automobile sold, which validates the product with India’s largest passenger-vehicle maker. - **Global navigation partners as distribution** - deals with NNG (embedded in more than 30 million vehicles worldwide) and HERE Technologies plug Genesys’ India data into global navigation systems, so international automakers can offer a locally built map without building one themselves. - **Beyond navigation** - the connected platform also hosts an in-car marketplace for purchases and a usage-based insurance product that tracks driving behaviour, creating additional revenue streams that sit on top of the core map licence. ## 3. Geospatial projects and services: turning data into government contracts **A project-based business that wins large domestic and international contracts by applying the same mapping and sensor capabilities to land records, urban planning, airports and utilities.** - **Land-record modernisation** - a ₹56-crore contract from West Bengal’s Directorate of Land Records uses the company’s map stack to create high-resolution orthorectified images and georeferenced cadastral maps, replacing paper records with precision digital ones. - **Saudi Arabia as a second geography** - cumulative orders from the Kingdom exceed ₹76 crores, including national-coverage map production, indoor mapping of 24 airports, and high-accuracy land-use verification for the NEOM megaproject, giving the company a dollar-linked revenue stream outside India. - **Airport infrastructure** - a ₹17.38-crore order from Bureau Veritas covers 3D ground-penetrating-radar surveys and building-information models across six Adani Group airports, showing how the sensor fleet monetises beyond traditional mapping. - **A new utility vertical** - the ‘Telescape’ fibre-planning platform layers Right-of-Way data across nearly 1,500 towns onto the 3D map stack, letting telecom companies plan, audit and manage their optical-fibre networks on a single digital twin. # Constellation of Sensors: the physical moat behind every segment **A fleet of aerial, mobile and terrestrial sensors - the largest of its kind in India - that collects the raw data feeding all three businesses, making the company a manufacturer of its own primary input.** - **Multi-layered data collection** - the fleet spans manned aircraft, drones, mobile LiDAR vans, backpack scanners and trolley-based ground-penetrating radar, so the company can capture everything from a city’s rooftops to its subsurface utilities in a single integrated dataset. - **Proprietary processing pipeline** - more than 200 in-house tools handle the full chain from raw sensor data through to published software, APIs and SDKs, tuned specifically for Indian conditions rather than adapted from Western workflows. - **Patents in the pipeline** - two patent applications cover a unique 3D location code for last-mile delivery and an automated feature-extraction system that pulls objects like electric poles and shop names from panoramic imagery and LiDAR, compressing the time needed for physical surveys. # Group structure and partners **A holding company with two overseas subsidiaries - one a technology IP vehicle in Cyprus, the other a Saudi operating arm - and a web of partnerships that distribute its data without the company having to build a global salesforce.** - **A.N. Virtual World Tech (Cyprus)** - 97.76%-owned, this subsidiary develops map databases and location-based applications and holds a perpetual, sublicensable licence to use Genesys content with Google products, effectively acting as an IP and licensing conduit. - **Genesys Middle East (Saudi Arabia)** - a wholly owned operating subsidiary incorporated in 2023 that delivers geospatial services, 2D and 3D mapping, and LiDAR surveys across the region, with a turnover of ₹19.28 crores in its first partial year. - **Merged domestic subsidiary** - Virtual World Spatial Technologies, a wholly owned Indian application-software unit, was amalgamated into the parent in 2024, consolidating its location-based platform capabilities. - **Strategic distribution alliances** - partnerships with Bentley Systems (3D city digital twins), Survey of India (CORS network access), NNG and HERE Technologies (automotive navigation), SatSure (satellite-AI integration) and UNL Global (hyperlocal addressing) put Genesys data into platforms that already serve governments, automakers and logistics companies globally.
