New Delhi/Kolkata (IBNS): Esri India, country’s leading Geographic Information System (GIS) Software & Solutions provider, has launched the third edition of its annual GIS contest mApp Your Way App Development Challenge 3.0.

Esri India will provide mentorship and guidance to the participants of mApp Your Way challenge through webinars and online portal.

Additionally temporary software license for shortlisted teams (only to be used for the purpose of app development for this contest) and access to online community for discussions will also be provided. The finalist teams will get an opportunity to demonstrate their applications at ‘THE’ GIS conference of India – Esri India User Conference in December 2017 in New Delhi.
