Dassault Systèmes, a global leader in 3D design software, has partnered with MapmyIndia Mappls to design and deliver sustainable cities and public services to the citizens of India. The collaboration will focus on key sectors of economic growth in India such as smart urban infrastructure, urban security and safety, transportation and logistics infrastructure, utilities and tourism.

Through this partnership, Dassault Systèmes will provide virtual twin experience solutions to transform the future of cities in India by providing access to real-time, accurate asset information for strategic planning, development and operations. The company's 3DEXPERIENCE platform will gather and organize a consistent and comprehensive set of data to analyze, visualize and simulate any situation, leveraging data from all departmental and governmental agencies as well as private third parties. This will provide a collaborative, common and secure workplace where all stakeholders can access a holistic view of the entire urban ecosystem to ensure informed decision-making.

The collaboration with MapmyIndia Mappls will enable a unique blend of consulting and technology expertise, industry process skills and services, to deliver solutions for clients and act as a trusted advisor to design and develop a resilient, digital, and sustainable infrastructure for the future of cities in India. This approach will allow the use of new-age digital technologies for creating a bridge to understand the complex ecosystem of today's cities and empower stakeholders to define the best policies for building a sustainable, energy-efficient and safe ecosystem for future citizens of the country.

This aligns well with the ongoing national programs and shall cater to the technology requirements ensuing from various nation-building projects like the Smart Cities Mission, Gati Shakti, National Rail Plan and the National Infrastructure Pipeline projects. By connecting the ecosystem and fostering collaborative working across multiple stakeholders, cities can optimize infrastructure and resources while reducing their environmental footprint and CO2 emissions. They can focus on improving health, safety and environmental impacts for their citizens and engage with them proactively.

Rohan Verma, CEO and Executive Director of MapmyIndia Mappls, said, "MapmyIndia Mappls Maps are ready for Virtual Twin technology and use cases, with the most comprehensive and high-definition geospatial coverage in 2D, 3D, 4D, HD and 360 degrees, captured through advanced sensors, on-ground through moving vehicles and in the sky, including from drones, and processed, productized and published in near-real time using cutting-edge AI/ML, computer vision, data analytics and geospatial technologies. Dassault Systèmes' globally benchmarked 3DEXPERIENCE platform and its solutions along with MapmyIndia Mappls' integrated platform of Virtual Twin-ready maps, technologies, solutions and services will precisely address any city's, and any infrastructure's, physical, social, and environmental challenges and transform and enable the way it plans, builds and operates."

Deepak NG, Managing Director India, Dassault Systèmes, said, "Our 3DEXPERIENCE platform makes it possible for cities to be viewed and analyzed as ecosystems rather than separate entities and improve communication and services for citizens. Virtual twin experience on a collaborative digital platform is a game-changer for city planning. A future scenario can be modeled before its deployment in the real world. And what was deployed can continuously inform and improve the model thanks to a real-to-virtual/virtual-to-real feedback loop."
