Role you're checking

Cartographer

Operations

Cartographers design, produce, and maintain maps, spatial datasets, and geospatial visualisations that governments, defence agencies, urban planners, disaster managers, and logistics companies rely on to make decisions. In India the dominant employers are the Survey of India (the oldest scientific department under the Ministry of Science & Technology), ISRO's National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), NIC Bharatmaps, MapmyIndia (CE Info Systems), Esri India, and a growing tier of geospatial startups and EPC consultancies deploying GIS for smart-city and infrastructure projects. The craft combines cartographic design principles — symbol hierarchy, projection selection, generalisation, colour science — with GIS software fluency (ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Mapbox, CARTO) and domain knowledge of topography, land use, transportation networks, or thematic data. Entry paths include B.Sc./M.Sc. Geography or Geoinformatics, B.Tech Geomatics, and the Survey of India's own Surveyor and Cartographic Draftsman recruitment cadres; private sector roles also absorb civil engineers and software professionals who develop GIS skills.
