Indore to Become the Country's First Smart City with Smart Address

‘Pataa’, a digital address app based out of Indore, has recently signed an MoU with the Indore government. According to this MoU, all governmental organisations and emergency services, including the police, fire department, and ambulance, will utilise the Pataa app. The app would also be utilised for essential services, including E-KYC and banking geotagging. It will be widely accessible to the public for personal and commercial purposes.

‘Pataa Navigation’ will integrate with government platforms such as those for the departments of power, agriculture, excise, women and child welfare, and education in order to offer access to Digital Addressing Systems. Additionally, Pataa will geotag and include all of MP Tourism's landmark spots with websites. Digital address numbers would be placed on any major public property, such as light posts, bus stations, and public bathrooms.

The user may locate the particular geotagged location by using the succinct and recognisable code Pataa. Users of the Pataa App can post pictures of their residences, landmarks, and other objects in addition to their full-text addresses.

The user also has the choice to record audio directions—rendering it unnecessary to repeat the address over the phone—and making it easier for the visitor to locate the venue accurately. The user will soon be able to share a short code rather than their lengthy and complete address—which would be a major advantage in terms of emergency services, delivery and more.

According to Pataa, “the alliance seeks to raise the standard of living for those living in rural areas of India by making resources like loans, seeds, and technical support more accessible.”
