Event #7 - Mar 19, 2023
We had our 7th meetup at Satyukt Analytics with new learnings and insights shared by the stalwarts of our industry Ujaval Gandhi and Raj Bhagat Palanichamy! From automating workflows in #QGIS to its application in decision-making, we heard it all.
Ujaval Gandhi provided valuable insights on Geospatial Analysis using #QGIS, demonstrating various features and functionalities of the software from model builder to using running it on the command line. His slides can be found here
Raj Bhagat discussed the role of remote sensing and GIS in decision-making, anecdotally citing several case studies and projects to highlight the stark difference between GIS models and ground reality.
Event #6 - Feb 18, 2023
There is no doubt that working with Drones and LiDAR is every mappers dream project. We talk to Sucharitha from Skylark Drones and Pavan Vyas from Gesix Solutions Pvt.

Event #4 - Dec 3,2022
A hands-on session anchored by Saikat Maiti hosted at the incredible Microsoft Reactor, #LTSFam were given a deep-dive into community mapping initiative using OpenStreetMap’s map editor – JOSM. The session showcased how to use the #PMGSY data layer as a WMTS service (courtesy of Arun Ganesh and team) as a reference to digitise data using JOSM for the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team platform (HOTOSM). In addition to this, using Strava Heatmaps to visually identify actual roads in use was an exciting way to include heterogenous data into a mapping practise.
