Скачать или смотреть The Indian App Challenging Google Maps (And Winning in a Surprising Way)

For over a decade, Google Maps has defined how the world navigates. But in India, a quiet challenger is charting a different path.

Mappls, created by the veteran mapping company MapmyIndia, isn’t just another navigation app — it’s a purpose-built alternative built on decades of local data, designed for India’s roads, and aligned with the nation’s vision of digital sovereignty.

In this video, we uncover five powerful takeaways about why Mappls is more than a rival — it’s a reflection of how India is rewriting the digital rulebook.

✅ A 30-year veteran disguised as a “new app”
✅ A revolutionary digital address system built with India Post
✅ Hyper-local navigation made for Indian roads — and their real hazards
✅ Your data stays entirely within India’s borders
✅ And a government-backed push that makes Mappls part of national digital infrastructure

From on-ground accuracy to Atmanirbhar Bharat, this is how Mappls is building a fundamentally different mapping empire — one blue dot at a time.
