Directions Magazine India has announced an upcoming webinar focused on exploring the prospects and long-term growth potential of the geographic information systems (GIS) market in India. The session will bring together industry leaders and policymakers to discuss emerging opportunities, national initiatives, and evolving market dynamics shaping the country’s geospatial sector.

The webinar will be moderated by Maneesh Prasad, Executive Editor of Directions Magazine India, and will feature presentations from two prominent experts in the Indian GIS community. Dr. Vandana Sharma, Deputy Director General and Head of the Remote Sensing and GIS Division at the National Informatics Center, will share insights drawn from her leadership in several large-scale GIS initiatives developed in collaboration with the Planning Commission and multiple central and state government ministries. Her experience includes overseeing major national-level geospatial programs that support governance, infrastructure planning, and public service delivery.

Dr. Mukund Rao, Member-Secretary of the National GIS Interim Core Group, will also present during the session. Dr. Rao is actively involved in shaping the strategic vision for the National GIS initiative in India and brings extensive experience in GIS and Earth observation (EO) solutions consulting and implementation. His professional background spans large-scale GIS deployments across India, the Middle East, the Asia-Pacific region, and the United States.

In addition to expert presentations examining the current state of the Indian geospatial market, the webinar will include a live question-and-answer session, providing participants with an opportunity to engage directly with the speakers. Attendees will also receive a brief overview of Directions Magazine India’s publication activities and available webinar sponsorship opportunities.

The session aims to provide industry professionals, policymakers, researchers, and technology providers with valuable perspectives on the expanding role of geospatial technologies in India’s economic development, infrastructure modernization, and digital governance initiatives.
