Logistics services provider Delhivery announced that it is advancing the development of digital mapping solutions tailored specifically to the country’s complex geography and unique addressing systems with Nvidia AI.
Announced at the India AI Summit, Delhivery, through the project aims to leverage Nvidia accelerated computing, Nvidia CV-CUDA, and Nvidia Nemotron open models to design highly accurate, scalable and locally relevant maps to support India’s growing digital economy by unlocking the potential of Delhivery’s petabytes of proprietary data accumulated over several years.
Key capabilities being evaluated include address disambiguation to distinguish between phonetically similar addresses and localities, contextual inference to decipher unstructured descriptions and predictive sequencing to optimise last-mile routes in dense, unplanned urban areas. India’s geographic diversity, rapid urbanisation and unique addressing systems present a distinct challenge for conventional mapping tools built for other nations.
Kapil Bharati, co-founder & CTO, Delhivery, said: “India needs mapping solutions that operate at scale and can understand the pulse of its streets. Standard global mapping tools often struggle with nuances of Indian addresses. By combining Delhivery’s dataset of billions of shipments with Nvidia’s accelerated computing, we are exploring a location intelligence layer to power India’s digital growth.”
Addresses in the Indian subcontinent are often unstructured, relying heavily on community landmarks, variable sequencing, and local vernacular rather than standardized global coordinates. Through this collaboration, Delhivery aims to harness Nvidia’s open models to tackle critical hurdles unique to India.
Vishal Dhupar, managing director, Asia South, Nvidia, said: “Nvidia technologies are enabling developers and companies to turn complex data into actionable insights. Delhivery’s work demonstrates how Nvidia AI infrastructure and open AI models like Nvidia Nemotron can help address large-scale geospatial challenges to help India technology leaders provide a new wave of AI-powered applications and services.”
With a focus on performance, scalability and local relevance, Delhivery’s India-first mapping platform aims to serve as the foundational digital infrastructure for applications that require precise, intelligent and up-to-date location data.
