What Mapsystems does

MAPSystems is a Bangalore-headquartered, privately held business process outsourcing provider founded in 1993 that delivers creative, digital, and technology-driven services to global enterprise clients across publishing, retail/eCommerce, real estate, fashion, education, IT, media, automotive, and banking. Its service portfolio spans prepress (typesetting, OCR, document scanning, copyediting, proofreading, alt-text), digital conversion (reflowable, fixed-layout and interactive eBooks, XML/PubMed/DTBook, Flash-to-HTML5), photo editing (wedding, fashion, eCommerce, clipping, retouching, headshots), real estate imaging (virtual staging, HDR, day-to-dusk, floor plans, virtual tours, decluttering), video editing, graphic design (brochures, magazines, web, logos, illustration), 3D services (modeling, texturing, rendering, architectural, AR/VR, game assets), and IT services (DevOps/cloud, cybersecurity, IT transformation, software development). On top of these services, MAPSystems offers five branded product solutions — MAPMyClasses, MAPMyAccess, MAPMytutor, MAP3DStudio, and MAPDigitalStudio — addressing education, secure content access, tutoring, 3D design, and digital content creation respectively. Underlying technology includes industry-standard tools (Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, Autodesk 3DS Max) and proprietary XML workflows conforming to the TEI p5 standard for manuscript digitization, supported by infrastructure featuring Cisco VPN, firewalls, malware protection, smart card authentication, and encrypted connectivity.

The company operates five global delivery centers in India (Bangalore HQ), USA, UAE, Jordan, and Ghana, with regional offices in Delhi, Tennessee (regional HQ), Paris, Dubai, and Amman, enabling follow-the-sun execution and 24/7 support. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise sales combined with publisher-vertical demand generation through major international book fairs (Frankfurt, London, New Delhi, Tokyo, Beijing, Moscow, Sharjah, Guadalajara, Abu Dhabi, BookExpo America) and content marketing via blogs, case studies, and portfolio showcases. Revenue derives primarily from project-based professional services engagements with multi-year contracts at custom quote-based pricing; the firm does not publish standardized rate cards and emphasizes 'affordable' and 'industry-best' pricing. Notable enterprise customers include Pearson, Wolters Kluwer, Penguin Random House, DK, McGraw Hill, Simon & Schuster, Walmart, Amazon, Flipkart, Nike, Puma, Lacoste, Wayfair, Accenture, and Snap, alongside educational clients such as LPU, KLE, and IMT.

The firm is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015 certified, carries no disclosed external funding or parent company, and is led by founder and CEO Prasad Rao Kotnani. Headcount is stated at 300+ experts serving 600+ clients, with documented project throughput such as 500+ manuscript pages per fortnight at 99.9% accuracy and 100+ 3D renders per month — indicating a mature, services-led operator rather than a venture-backed technology platform.
