Local startups embracing home grown technology is a positive sign for the country and we are pleased to be part of this change,” said Adeel Hashmi, Head of Maps.

“We’re excited to collaborate with TPL Maps to enable real-time intelligent routing and turn-by-turn navigation option in our system for an effective dispatching.
