“I’m very excited about the potential for change arising from digitizing the real world. We will be at the forefront of the transition towards a more sustainable business model for organizations of all kinds.”
Magnasoft was founded by a group of mapping professionals, and our first big contract was a GIS project for Bangalore Municipality in 2002. Those were the days of paper maps and hard copies, and we used CAD to execute the project!
What began with a simple mapping project has evolved into a geospatial platform that builds 3D content and Digital Twins for clients in several cities around the world.
Today, we solve real-world problems such as ADAS, optical connectivity, vegetation-induced power outages, asset maintenance, sustainable engineering, and development.
We work together and win together
We celebrate our differences
We strive to achieve work/life balance
We always treat each other with respect
We conduct all our business in a transparent manner
We are always honest with our clients, our vendors and with each other
