What SPARC does

SPARC (Spatial Planning & Analysis Research Centre), headquartered in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, is a privately held Indian GeoICT technology services company founded in 1997 by Subhadarshi Mishra. Over 28 years it has grown from a three-person spatial data team to a workforce of more than 300 professionals delivering GIS, remote sensing, DGPS surveying, UAV/drone photogrammetry, WebGIS, location-based mobile applications, and AI/ML-based satellite image analytics. Its work is anchored by CMMI Level 5, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and ISO 20000-1 certifications, and spans three service lines: Software Services, Geospatial Services, and Consulting Services.

The company's commercial footprint covers ten market verticals (governance, forest & wildlife, agriculture, environment & climate change, mining & geology, water resources, urban & infrastructure, industrial establishment, insurance, and logistics) with a portfolio of 500+ projects and 150+ clients. Notable productized platforms include the Paddy Procurement Automation System (P-PAS) using AI/ML satellite imagery to detect fraudulent registrations (saving the Odisha Government over 1,000 crores), the Geo Spatial Backbone for the Jaga Mission slum land titling project covering 1 million dwellers across 109 urban local bodies, the Forest Land Information & Decision Support System (FLI DSS), the GeoICT Platform for Elephant Movement Monitoring used by 1,000+ wildlife managers, and a WebGIS-based Decision Support System for industrial pollution monitoring for the Odisha State Pollution Control Board.

SPARC operates a B2G/B2B professional services model with project-based, negotiated pricing under direct enterprise sales and government engagement motions. Primary customers are Central and State Government departments (particularly within Odisha, supplemented by NHAI), Public Sector Undertakings (Tata Steel, IOCL), and multilateral/bilateral agencies including JICA, USAID, the World Bank, UNOICT, and GIZ. Revenue is generated through geospatial data generation, mapping, custom software development, and strategic consulting engagements. The firm has no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries or parent company, and no published revenue, and remains founder-controlled.
