Importance of 6-digit Post Code Maps of India

In June 2004, ANNOVA came out with an idea of developing a 6-digit Pincode maps for India. Looking at the upcoming global image of India, it was evident that 6-digit postcode maps of India is going to be the most important GIS database for all industries in their sales and marketing, production planning, infrastructure setup and logistics (to name a few scopes. After realizing the potentials for such a useful Spatial demographic database, Annova spent no time in contacting Visakhapatnam General Post office Head to discuss and understand the process of how the logistics move in the post code system of India. Qucikly, it understood that it requires an All India Database of all the pincodes and a spatial resources to visualize it on GIS platform. ANNOVA took extreme efforts in contacting Survey of India - Dehradun, SOI -Hyderabad, NATMO, Municipal Corporations and Postal Departments for acquiring
input resources.

Four years later, the same set of maps became the heart of everything that MapVersa offers today.

1. One India Maps
2. One India City Maps
3. One Navigator India Maps
4. One India Pincode Maps
5. One India DTM Maps
6. One India Satellite Imageries (This is the true color LandSat story that I told Sayak two days ago).
7. One India PoI's
8. Print Media Maps
9. Golf Maps
10. Custom Maps and more.....

Isn't that amazing. Ask me how that was possible in just 4 years.
