The Opportunity

Metro tunnel projects and utility work are causing catastrophic breaches because field teams don't know where existing underground infrastructure (borewells, cables, pipes) is located. Municipal records exist but are siloed and not cross-checked in real time. Contractors and builders are drilling blind, causing ₹crores in damage and project delays.

Market Size₹850 Cr addressable market — based on 52-km Pune Metro (₹15,000 Cr project), similar metros in Mumbai/Bangalore/Delhi, and 50,000+ annual construction projects
Why NowGST registration (Service, 5%); may need safety certification from labour dept for field work; municipal approval to access underground records (typically informal).
