It sells if you know how

Intelligent Investor, December 16, 1998

Spotting the entrepreneurial diamonds in the dust doesn’t cost. It just takes vision. Most of us want to be our own bosses, but there are very few who actually can. Take, for instance, mapping, or geographical information systems, as it is called in these techno-times. Did you know that if you, or someone else, has the minute details of the location of your home, block, street, and the city you live in, you could be sitting on a goldmine? That’s precisely what Rakesh and Rashmi Verma have done. Theirs is the typical enterprise success story. Bright young folks. Went to the US to study and work. Got married. Did well professionally (Rakesh was in the first Saturn Project team at General Motors, and Rashmi worked at IBM). Decided to come back to India and start afresh. Together they founded CE Info Systems, and with the help of software friends launched Mappls, a spatial software package. For Hughes Ispat, which recently launched basic services in Maharashtra, this was a boon. Crucial information-how many telephones plug points are in each building, where cable are laid, the switching box closest to a subscriber’s residence-is now a mouse-click away. The Chennai police is also impressed by Mappls. Using mobile transmitters, they can now pin down a criminal’s movements. They can also use the application to manage traffic flow. Corporates like Nestle and Coca-Cola are using Verma’s product for determining the exact movement of their goods vehicles. And it’s only a matter of time before cable TV firms and Internet service providers also start using this application...

As its business grows, CE sees it as challenge to customize its packages for different industries, says Verma.
