From policy labs to field deployment, Matrix Geo Solutions formalises delivery role with DRIIV Foundation

Rahul Jain and Prof. Ambuj D. Sagar discuss how the collaboration bridges scientific research and on ground implementation

Matrix Geo Solutions Limited has entered a formal delivery framework with DRIIV Foundation to support the execution of government backed science and technology programmes, marking a shift from research stage development to structured field implementation across drone, geospatial, and spatial analytics projects.
The Memorandum of Understanding establishes DRIIV Foundation as the programme management and implementation anchor, while Matrix Geo Solutions will be responsible for on ground execution, technology deployment, and operational delivery. The arrangement is designed to support national and state level initiatives involving public agencies and institutional stakeholders.

The scope of work under the framework includes drone and UAV based surveys, LiDAR mapping, three dimensional digital twins, GeoAI driven spatial analytics, satellite data applications, cloud based GIS platforms, and collaborative research and capacity building initiatives. The structure allows research outputs and pilot concepts to be tested through demonstrations and then converted into defined and executable projects.
Rahul Jain, Managing Director at Matrix Geo Solutions, said the collaboration strengthens the pathway from scientific research to practical deployment. He noted that combining DRIIV Foundation’s policy and institutional ecosystem with Matrix Geo’s execution capabilities enables technology driven solutions to be applied across sectors such as water management, infrastructure planning, environmental monitoring, and governance systems.

Prof. Ambuj D. Sagar, Chief Executive Officer at DRIIV Foundation, said the MoU supports the foundation’s mandate of translating advanced research into solutions that can be implemented at scale. He stated that Matrix Geo’s experience in drone operations, geospatial engineering, and infrastructure projects adds delivery depth to government aligned science and technology programmes.
The framework also includes provisions for pilot projects, training initiatives, and workforce development in drone and geospatial technologies. Both organisations confirmed that discussions are underway to identify initial pilots that can move into formal project execution.

The agreement is valid for five years and is intended to support sustained collaboration across national missions, state programmes, and public sector initiatives, with a focus on strengthening technology led planning and implementation capacity.
