Pioneering India's Geospatial Future: GEODNET Partners with CoinDCX to Launch GEOD Token in India
Founded by Mike Horton, GEODNET is revolutionizing the geospatial industry by providing real-time, low-cost, and highly accurate location data through a decentralized network. As the company accelerates its expansion in India, it aims to address key local challenges and unlock new opportunities across sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure, mobility, and autonomous systems.
Expanding into India: A Market of Strategic Importance
'India's vast geography and population present a unique opportunity for geospatial innovation,' said Mike Horton, Founder of GEODNET. 'With limited commercial Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) services currently available, and strong partner interest from firms like Quectel Wireless Solutions, we see immense potential to bring precise, decentralized geospatial services to urban and rural areas alike.'
Driving Use Cases Across Industries
GEODNET's technology is poised to benefit several critical sectors:
Surveying and Drones: Enabling accurate mapping and terrain modeling to support infrastructure and urban planning.
Precision Agriculture: Helping farmers optimize resource use and increase crop yields through detailed geospatial data.
Mobility Solutions: Facilitating autonomous driving technologies, including self-driving tractors, e-scooters, and rideshare fleets requiring precise navigation.
Supporting National Initiatives
Aligning with India's National Geospatial Policy, GEODNET is actively working to build infrastructure that complements government efforts in both public and private sectors. The decentralized nature of GEODNET's network enables broad coverage, including rural areas, incentivized through token rewards and advanced deployment strategies like SuperHex to meet localized data demands.
Collaborations and Community Engagement
GEODNET is forging partnerships with drone companies, research institutes, and Web3 organizations to deepen its impact. The company's tokenomics model incentivizes contributors globally, with tailored rewards for Indian participants to encourage network growth.
'Our collaboration with CoinDCX and Levitate Labs has been instrumental,' Horton noted. 'Levitate Labs, a leading India-focused Web3 fund, has supported our expansion through community-building initiatives such as Onchain India, university programs, and support for emerging DePIN projects, helping us connect with India's vibrant blockchain ecosystem.'
How Indians Can Participate
Indian investors and technology enthusiasts can join the GEODNET journey by acquiring GEOD tokens on CoinDCX. This partnership underscores GEODNET's commitment to fostering decentralized, tokenized infrastructure that empowers India's digital and geospatial future.

Kolhapuri chappal scandal: Bitter PIL for Prada
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Pune: A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Bombay High Court demanding that the Italian fashion house Prada should pay monetary compensation to the artisans making Kolhapuri chappals . Prada had presented a toe ring sandal collection at Milan that was inspired by India's Kolhapuri petitioner is an intellectual property advocate Ganesh Hingmire, who has named the leading global fashion brands that have copied Indian traditional designs like brocade, block printing, bandhani, dressing styles like Sharara and the PIL has also demanded a court-supervised collaboration between Prada and artisan associations for co-branding, capacity building, and revenue-sharing."A legal order in this case will prevent other international companies from imitating or duplicating Indian GI products," the PIL said."Expecting these fragmented artisan groups to individually file civil suits against a global fashion conglomerate is unrealistic and unjust," said Hingmire, justifying the rationale behind the PIL also sought directions to government entities and authorities for forming associations of producers and farming policies for swift intervention against international GI industry body Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce Industry and Agriculture (MACCIA), which had first written a letter to Prada about the issue, thinks that this is a blessing in disguise for the heritage product at the centre of the controversy."We will like Prada to impart technical skills to our artisans and set up an excellence lab not only for chappal but also for other products like the Paithani saree and anklet from Hupari near Kolhapur," said Lalit Gandhi, MACCIA thinks that the protection under the GI law is not so strong at the international level. "We have decided to initiate the process to get a patent as it offers stronger legal protection than GI for all the products that have GI registration," said pointed out that India has successfully fought infringement of GI violation at international level in the case of Darjeeling Tea, whose GI was protected by the Tea Board.

CII projects a robust Indian economy, forecasting 6.4-6.7% growth in FY26 driven by domestic demand amid global uncertainties. The industry body advocates for GST rationalization, a three-tier import tariff structure, and a joint skills acceleration fund.

Remove Ads New Delhi: Industry body CII Thursday pitched for rationalisation of goods and service tax (GST) rates, reduction in tax litigation, establishment of a joint skills acceleration fund (between public, private and CSR), and introduction of a capital support scheme for small and medium CII President Rajiv Memani said the Indian economy was expected to grow by 6.4-6.7% in FY26, driven by strong domestic demand amid global uncertainties."We must remember that in all these cases we don't have 100% winners," said Memani, referring to the India-US trade negotiation to seal a bilateral deal before July 9. "The Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between India and US will be done in tranches, with tricky areas, which have greater political ramifications and require more consultations, to be dealt with later," he added."I feel very confident that the government understands the challenges facing Indian industry and they will be adequately addressed. We are hopeful of the way the current government has prepared, and it gives a lot of comfort," he growth in FY26 will be driven by strong domestic demand, even as geopolitical uncertainty poses downside risks, said Memani. "India appears as a steady hand in a fractured global economic model, with strong growth numbers and macroeconomic parameters holding up well."India's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 6.5% in FY25."There are obviously some risks. A lot of those risks are external risk, geopolitical risks, global trade risk, but I think a lot of them have been factored in, and there are some upsides, so hopefully they should get balanced out," said 'accelerating competitiveness' as its theme for 2025-26, CII identified six key areas to drive India's growth - next-generation reforms, manufacturing, technology & AI, sustainability & energy transition, livelihoods and recommends rationalising the goods and service tax (GST) structure from five slabs to three, with 5% for essential items, 28% for luxury and sin goods, and a uniform 12-18% for all others. CII also suggests adoption of a three-tier import tariff structure, with customs duty on raw materials and inputs at 0-2.5%, intermediate goods at 2.5-5%, and final goods at 5-7%.Further, it advocates the creation of state fiscal councils to evaluate state budgets and fiscal risks, improved dispute resolution & decriminalisation measures, as well as tax reforms.
