HOW THE INDUSTRY IS LOOKING LIKE -

  • The geospatial industry is witnessing significant developments and innovations by leveraging real-time data, miniaturization of sensors, Geospatial Artificial Intelligence, 3D modelling, automation, LiDAR, Augmented Reality applications, Big data analytics and cloud computing.

  • One noteworthy trend in the indian geospatial market is the migration from 2D to 3D GIS. It is basically the visual representations of physical objects or systems in the real-world. This can help organizations to analyse and optimize complex systems such as urban infrastructure, factories and supply chains.

  • NGP 2022 seeks to strengthen the Geospatial sector to support national development, economic prosperity and a thriving information economy. This policy spells out the vision, goals for the Geospatial sector and outlines the strategies for achieving them.

FINANCIALS -

P&L

BALANCE SHEET

SHAREHOLDING

Financials of the company are not that encouraging as there has been almost no profitability. But it can be said that the company was in an investment phase all these years where they have invested money to develop the product.

Borrowings of the company have also not shot up very much as the company has raised some funds by way of preferential issue once in 2021, 750000 lakh shares @122 and then in 2022, around 12.76 lakh shares @470.

RISKS -

  • Cybersecurity is of a paramount concern as the geospatial industry relies heavily on digital data and cloud-based services.

  • Also the geospatial industry requires substantial investment in research, development and infrastructure. Marketing also takes away a huge chunk of the profits.

  • Valuations are not exactly cheap. Company has developed a good product that is fine but how much revenue and profitability will they be able to achieve is still not clear.

Disclosure - Invested 5% of my portfolio in it at various levels. Views can be biased.

Promoter holding has decreased over last 3 years: -8.48% .

Any specific reason?

Their holding in absolute number remains the same.
Reason for decrease of shareholding is because of dilution after preferential allotment.

“Genesys’ New India Map Platform
adopted as Official Map for Ayodhya, by Ayodhya Development Authority.”

Thanks for starting the thread on the name. Who retains the Intellectual Property rights on the map that Genesys creates? I am assuming that the India map stack will be available for a certain charge and the Company gets some money out of it?

Maybe still early days but that’s how i think this business model evolves.

I am not really sure about this. We will know about it as time passes by and we have more information I guess. In the meanwhile I will try to look into it and find out more about this if possible.

Got it thanks!

My guess is the work they are doing for private customers such as Adani etc they might not retain the IP ownership but to be a devil’s advocate private customers won’t have any further use for the geological maps more than the architecture setup (and these also need frequent updation) so they might just have some annual revenue arrangement with them. For google they probably have an AMC.

The last point says they will license out these products as well
