This post is for friends and past, present & potential business associates!
Many of you questioned my logic of leaving the GIS industry and focusing my energies in the Real Estate industry instead. I did not elaborate much on what will be the exact nature of business AUGTICS will be doing and what is our business model and hence your questions was reasonable and expected. I have received several requests for knowing exact dates of launch of our corporate website and well as the portal. The wait will still continue as we continue to refine both, but we are doing what is most important at this stage – engaging with a lot of potential customers. However, now I will make an attempt to explain our new initiative – in bits and pieces!!
Recently, I made one good friend. He used to be actively dealing in the financial market in past and is currently focusing his energies on several diverse areas. There was a specific discussion on a company’s stock performance and he gave a fantastic analysis. He ended the discussion by saying – “you can take a man out of market but you can not take a market out of man”! How true it’s for someone who has lived with GIS technology for years!! You can take a man out of GIS but can not take GIS out of man!!!
Well now on to the reason to shift focus to Real Estate Industry. The most hackneyed cliché in the real estate business is that the three most important factors in the value of land are Location, Location, and Location. That’s the reason I am focusing on Real Estate!!

I found this interesting advertisement in a leading Indian newspaper daily (today morning, on my flight from Delhi to Mumbai) – Google Inc ATC announcement (see attached image) for SKETCHUP training in Indian.
Few Questions:
1. Is Google SKETCHUP so complex to operate that there is training required?
2. Does Google Inc has a authorised training center for SKETCHUP PRO V6 training anywhere else in world?
If anyone has any idea about this google ATC, please drop in your comments and views!

It’s the biggest news in today’s Times Of India – Mapping the future (click on the link to read the news)! It reads, by March-April, websites will be announced which will allow users to access all the 4,800 Survey of India maps where at the click of a mouse geographical and physical data can be superimposed!
This development might be the biggest catalyst in changing the face of Indian GIS industry.
Couple of years back I was at the meeting organized by CSDMS (GIS Development) between Mr Kapil Sibal, Minister of Science and Technology and Industry. The signs were very clear then that big change was about to come!
This event also highlights what Median can achieve – great work GIS Development folks! Keep it up guys!!
Now it’s up-to the GIS professional and companies in India to capitalize on this development….
