We generate geospatial data every day, often without noticing it. From navigation apps to environmental monitoring, location data quietly shapes how we move, plan, and govern. But while India produces vast amounts of geospatial data, it remains fragmented across multiple portals and institutions.
In this episode, Sowmya Prabhakar and Dr Y Nithiyanandam explore why India needs a more unified and user-centric geospatial data portal ecosystem. We need one that goes beyond visualisation, improves accessibility, and enables policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and citizens to truly use data for impact. The data exists. The technology exists. What’s missing is coordination and a shared vision.
