UNBELIEVABLE: Second world geospatial information congress main event - Caught on Camera

Minister of State for Science and Technology Jitendra Singh on Tuesday said that within a short period there have emerged 250 startups working in the geospatial sphere in India, and added that this sector is projected to grow significantly to ₹52,770 crore.

Dr. Singh was delivering the keynote address at the Second United Nations World Geospatial Information Congress.

Touching on the number of geospatial startups, Dr. Singh said: “ I am also quite excited that we have got a few startups, I was told about more than 250 startups, in the geospatial theme. And that is remarkable when you realize that space tech was opened for startups only about two or three years back, and we had an agency in space in place only one year back.”
