Business Description:SadakMap.com has built a unique online application for developing countries such as India where most places do not have geo location data. Our framework mobilizes the user community to plot places on the map and have discussions going around them.
We aim to bring to the map, all the nuances that a country like India has to offer, from its historical places down to its popular food places. Essentially what we have developed is a blog-on-a-map. This map-based application backed with visitor statistics (which areas of the map are visited more often than others) offers advertising revenue possibilities in a 2-dimensional space.
