Qualcomm to book 20X returns
13 years ago Qualcomm first invested in MapmyIndia. The company left its entire 5% stake in MapmyIndia. At that time Qualcomm invested at 52Rs per share which means a return of nearly 20 times from the buying price.

- Market leader in B2B and B2C for digital maps and location intelligence in India.
- Independent global geospatial product and platform company with robust data management.

Weaknesses-
The company’s biggest weakness is, it is competing with the Giant “Google Maps”. Still, 70-80 percent of you who are reading this, till now using Google maps. Major delivery companies are also using the same. Though with time major players have connected with MapmyIndia, it has to fight hard every day to beat the giant.
MapmyIndia has been more friendly for the small to medium to large businesses, suppose you are a restaurant owner, most likely you would likely use MapmyIndia. But for most individuals still, Google maps is 1st choice, something that the company has to think about over time on how to beat this market as well.
