When it comes to geospatial activities, such as line transmission, it can be complex and often hindered by data unavailability. To achieve precision with per-inch accuracy, Aerial Geomatics, a leading Indigenous UAV mapping, analysis, and planning company specializes in UAV engineering, GIS solutions, aerial photogrammetry, and spatial data management. The company provides UAV mapping services to define land boundaries, physical features, and the built environment.
"In 2019, I identified significant potential in smart city planning and recognized a gap in data acquisition for urban design. This led me to explore GIS technologies, and in 2020, I founded Aerial Geomatics. Our initial projects focused on geospatial data acquisition for the government of Karnataka, particularly for urban local bodies (ULBs) involved in solid waste management planning. We conducted workshops for 150 engineers and covered 168 ULBs, completing projects for 20 to 28 ULBs. Over time, we expanded into the mining, infrastructure, and real estate sectors, achieving significant growth in the hillside and 3D mapping, including projects in Bihar", says Surendra Kumar R, GIS Analyst, Urban Designer, and Architect.
Innovative UAV mapping and Analysis Solutions
Aerial Geomatics offers various services, including Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) with NPNT Drone Surveys, Mining Drone Surveys, and comprehensive UAV solutions for surveying, mapping, and GIS. The company specializes in urban development, mining, and infrastructure.
To stay ahead of industry trends, Aerial Geomatics continuously updates its methodologies and equipment, investing in cutting-edge technologies such as LiDAR, drones, and utility mapping tools to ensure high precision and efficiency. Additionally, the firm emphasizes software advancements and team development by providing training on new technologies and monitoring industry equipment trends. Workshops on GIS software further enhance the team's capabilities.
Aerial Geomatics stands out in the market due to its unique blend of architecture and urban planning expertise, which enables a deeper understanding of client needs. Unlike competitors from purely surveying or engineering backgrounds, they excel in historical map analysis and land classification within GIS. The firm also offers comprehensive data collection and analysis, integrating GIS, remote sensing, drones, and terrestrial LiDAR, enhancing product quality.

To maintain high levels of customer satisfaction, the company employs several strategies. These include delivering on time, maintaining quality, and using various distribution channels. They place a high priority on understanding client needs and maintaining strong relationships, while also ensuring that the price reflects the quality. Reputation and effective communication are also key components of their approach.
"Our clients often inquire about the impact of our GIS services, particularly in hillside mapping for regions such as Madikeri and Kalasa. Many clients recognize our expertise in this area, particularly the challenges of covering dense vegetation and steep terrain. Controlling drones and UAVs in such conditions requires significant effort and precision, but our advanced GIS technology ensures accurate and reliable data", highlights Vimal C (Architect), Design Director.
Aerial Geomatics is a pioneer in combining architectural expertise within the GIS platform, addressing a significant gap in large-scale planning. The company gathers extensive information and requirements from other architects and planners, enabling them to fulfill diverse needs. They are actively innovating in GIS and planning software, contributing to government planning areas, and advancing the industry.
"We are committed to ongoing research and development in GIS and architecture, aiming to integrate architectural planning with GIS technology. The focus is on advancing 3D planning and analysis, achieving comprehensive Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Site Information Modeling (SIM) for large-scale infrastructure projects. Integrating these systems is the company's main goal for the future", concludes Surendra.
