Celebrating 5 Years of Innovation: The Journey of GISKernel

Revisiting the History

The journey of GISKernel started about five years ago in February 2018. A young and passionate founder, Akshay Loya, who had the vision to revolutionize the world of GIS through its advanced and innovativ use to solve complex business problems.

Akshay started his career as a Biotechnology student who was introduced to the world of GIS by his mentor. His mentor mentioned “GIS is basically like a map on steroids! Trust me, you’re going to love it.” which inspired Akshay to explore more. He was fascinated and was determined to make a career in it.

He went on to crack an interview for the Symbiosis Institute of Geo-Informatics and the journey has only been onwards and upwards from there.

Akshay’s entrepreneurial spirit led him to pursue his passion for GIS through freelancing. His first project at the University of Washington proved to be a success, allowing him to hire his first employee and lay the foundation of GISKernel. The company, GISKernel, reflects the core essence of GIS, which serves as the foundation for all the work they do.
