Matrix Geo Solutions Limited, a leading Indian geospatial
technology and engineering consultancy, has signed a strategic Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with DRIIV Foundation (Delhi Research Implementation and
Innovation). DRIIV Foundation is the flagship Science & Technology
cluster programme of the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA) to
the Government of India, operating under the guidance of PM-STIAC.
Under this MoU, DRIIV Foundation will act as the Project
Management Partner and Implementing Agency, while Matrix Geo Solutions will
serve as the Delivery Partner, jointly executing national and state-level
projects for government, public bodies, and third-party stakeholders.
The collaboration establishes a framework to translate advanced research
into field-deployable solutions across drone and UAV surveys, LiDAR and 3D
digital twins, GeoAI and spatial analytics, satellite data applications,
cloud-native GIS platforms, and collaborative R&D and capacity-building
initiatives. The MoU is intended to enable pilots, demonstration deployments
and government programmes that can convert into scoped, executable projects.
Mr. Rahul Jain, MD at Matrix Geo Solutions
said, “Partnering with DRIIV Foundation, a
PMO-monitored and nationally significant S&T platform, advances Atmanirbhar
Bharat by accelerating the conversion of advanced research into scalable,
real-world solutions across key sectors. We are grateful to have this
opportunity to be able to contribute to this greater vision for our nation. By combining
DRIIV’s policy, research, and institutional ecosystem with Matrix Geo’s
execution and delivery strength, we aim to create scalable, sustainable, and
future-ready solutions for water, infrastructure, environment, and governance.”
“This
partnership with Matrix Geo Solutions reinforces DRIIV’s mandate of converting
cutting-edge research into deployable solutions aligned with national missions.
Their proven expertise in drones, geospatial engineering, and large-scale
infrastructure projects will significantly enhance our ability to deliver
impact-driven outcomes for government and society, said Prof.
Ambuj D. Sagar, CEO, DRIIV Foundation.
“Industry collaboration is critical to taking innovations from
laboratories to the field, and this MoU exemplifies the kind of
ecosystem-driven partnerships envisioned under PM-STIAC and the Office of the
Principal Scientific Adviser,” Krishna Kumar
Gaur, Head, Institutional Relations, DRIIV
Foundation, added.
Matrix Geo’s role under the MoU will focus on on-ground delivery,
technology deployment and project execution, while DRIIV will provide programme
management and institutional coordination. The parties are in active
discussions to identify pilot projects and scoped engagements that may be
converted into executable contracts.
The MoU also focuses on training, skill development, and workforce
creation in drone and geospatial technologies.
Valid for five years, it enables joint pilots, R&D, and
government collaborations to drive technology-led governance and infrastructure
planning.
