What Mapex does

Mapex AI (formerly Azure Clouds, rebranded July 2025) is a Noida-headquartered geospatial intelligence company that builds AI-powered GIS platforms and delivers end-to-end mapping, surveying, and digital twin services for Indian state governments, Urban Local Bodies, and enterprise infrastructure clients. Its product portfolio centers on four proprietary platforms — PGLAB (property geo-register and taxation for ULBs), POI Collection Platform (AI-enabled object recognition with vehicle-mounted and geo-fenced manual capture), Post Processing Platform (POI cleansing, speech-to-text, duplicate detection), and Mapexport (automated reporting) — supported by professional services in UAV-based aerial surveys, DGPS, GIS data engineering, BIM, and 3D visualization. Technology combines drone, satellite, mobile, and IoT spatial data with computer vision, speech recognition, and ML-based decision support to deliver cadastral modernization, property tax automation, utility network mapping, and risk-informed urban planning.

Commercially, Mapex runs a B2B sales-led motion targeting government and large enterprise clients through competitive tenders and RFPs under schemes such as AMRUT 2.0, DILRMP, and the Smart Cities Mission, supplemented by direct enterprise sales in North America via its Toronto-based subsidiary (Mapex AI Inc). Revenue is generated from project-based professional services (large-scale GIS mapping, cadastral modernization, property tax systems, infrastructure planning) and from platform licensing and deployment of PGLAB, POI, and Mapexport. Documented outcomes include a 35% cess revenue increase and 60% administrative delay reduction for Bihar BOCW, 68,453 cadastral sheets geo-referenced for West Bengal, and sub-metre DGPS accuracy. The company holds CMMI Level 3, ISO, and DPIIT certifications and operates from India (Noida) and Canada (Toronto), with senior leadership including CEO Surendra Das and Managing Partner North America Hon. Glen Murray.
