Planora is India's leading geospatial intelligence company. For over 15 years, we have delivered accurate, actionable spatial solutions to governments, enterprises, and development organisations across the country.
Planora was founded in 2010 by a team of surveying engineers and GIS scientists who believed that geospatial data had the power to transform how infrastructure, agriculture, and urban systems are planned and managed.
We started with conventional surveying instruments and topo mapping. Today, we operate a fully integrated geospatial platform — combining airborne LiDAR, drone photogrammetry, satellite remote sensing, and AI-powered analytics — all delivered through cloud-hosted web GIS applications.
Our teams operate across India and international markets, with offices in Pune, Delhi, and Bengaluru. We serve a broad spectrum of clients including NHAI, Smart City Missions, State Revenue Departments, renewable energy developers, and large agri-businesses.
Every dataset, every map, every model we produce must meet the highest accuracy standards. We do not cut corners on QA — our deliverables are field-verified and peer-reviewed.
We listen before we survey. Understanding a client's spatial problem is as important as solving it. Our project managers are domain experts who speak the client's language.
We continuously invest in the latest instruments, software platforms, and AI algorithms. Our R&D team actively develops in-house tools for automated feature extraction and spatial analytics.
We minimise physical footprint on project sites, favour drone-based surveys over ground-intensive methods where possible, and advocate for data reuse across projects.
Our reports include full metadata, accuracy statistics, and methodology descriptions. Clients can independently verify our outputs and understand exactly how data was produced.
We actively publish technical blogs, host GIS workshops, and mentor fresh geospatial graduates. Growing the ecosystem makes the whole industry stronger.
