MapmyIndia is India’s leading provider of advanced digital maps, geospatial software and location based IoT technologies. It is a leader in the B2B and B2B2C market, serving over 500 enterprise customers across 3 major categories - corporate, automotive and government. Some of the marquee names include PhonePe, Flipkart, Yulu, HDFC Bank, Airtel, Hyundai, Avis, Safexpress, GST Network, etc.

The company is one of a kind company in SaaS, PaaS, and MaaS businesses which has tremendous potential to perform well in the future because it has a moat in B2B business despite the presence of big-name Google map and some recent developments like the change in regulations and new tie-ups with government organizations may boost the sentiments further, according to Aayush Agrawal, Senior Analyst, Swastika Investmart.

We like MapMyIndia given its leadership in digital mapping, strong entry barriers, robust profitable data and tech platform along with consistent financials. The issue is valued at 27x 1HFY22 annualized EV/Sales, which although expensive is similar to other Indian unicorns. We believe MapmyIndia is rightly placed to tap the high growth digital mapping market, the brokerage firm Motilal Oswal Financial Services said in IPO note.
