New Delhi: On August 29, 2025, the Department of Posts (DoP), Ministry of Communications, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with MapmyIndia – Mappls, a leading provider of location technology, Internet of Things (IoT), and geospatial solutions. The partnership aims to leverage MapmyIndia’s advanced mapping platform and technology to aid the development and rollout of DIGIPIN, India’s national digital addressing system.
Enhancing Digital Addressing Through Integration
The agreement includes MapmyIndia providing base maps for integration into the DoP’s “Know Your DIGIPIN” application. This will improve user experience by enabling precise DIGIPIN generation based on geographic coordinates. The collaboration also involves incorporating DIGIPIN functionality into the Mappls application, allowing users to search, navigate, and interact with locations by using DIGIPIN codes.
MapmyIndia will also assist in allocating DIGIPINs to addresses already identified in its extensive geospatial database, thereby strengthening location-based services and supporting DIGIPIN’s widespread adoption across digital platforms.
Statements from Leadership
Shri Harpreet Singh, Member (Operations), Department of Posts, highlighted the partnership’s potential: “This partnership will significantly enhance DIGIPIN’s reach and accessibility. By integrating with MapmyIndia’s mapping platform, we are creating a standardized digital addressing system that will benefit millions of citizens and strengthen India’s digital infrastructure for efficient service delivery.”
From MapmyIndia, Shri Rakesh Verma, Co-founder and CMD, expressed pride in supporting a fully indigenous National Digital Addressing System. He stated, “The integration of MapmyIndia Mappls suite of APIs and SDKs into DIGIPIN applications will empower billions of Indian citizens and businesses, enabling the development of numerous services and solutions around DIGIPIN accessible via the Mappls App.”
Future Outlook: Fostering an Ecosystem for Innovation
With DIGIPIN integrated into the Mappls platform, enterprises, government agencies, and developers will be positioned to embed this digital addressing system into various mapping and navigation solutions. This collaboration will accelerate the Department of Posts’ Digital Address Code initiative and contribute to building the framework for Address as a Service (AaaS) in India, fostering an ecosystem of location-driven innovation and services.
