The MapsofIndia.com can be traced right back to the year 1997. Once people realized that the Internet would be the next medium of mass communication and usage after the invention of television, few of the IT savvy entrepreneurs came out of IT and joining hands with non-IT companies, together they formed the Compare InfoBase Limited.

The objective of these people was to set up a factory that would develop Internet sites, on any subject given and at various price ranges, to suit the Indian market. Compare InfoBase was able to launch its first project, Indiaprofile.com, on the 15th of August 1998. The site was developed with the main aim of emerging as a wonderful default portal to obtain any information on India. It was started with various information regarding travel, infrastructure, economy, education, culture, and celebrations including maps of India. By October 1998, the entrepreneurs were clear that within Mapsofindia lay the idea whose time had come.

They found by analysis from the traffic report which showed that 50% of the traffic, which that came to Indiaprofile, were interested in the smallest section of the site, namely Mapsofindia. The Mapsofindia section then provided about 50 maps on India and its important states. It was then decided to immediately launch Mapsofindia.com with maps of all the states, important cities and thematic maps on India in general. This dream came to realization on 14th December 1998 as Mapsofindia.com which became fully operational with over 250 maps.

This was achieved during the period when Yahoo was the king in search engines and submissions. India’s popularity on the net was limited, and maps on India was nowhere to be found. Yahoo’s directory for India did not have a sub-directory about its maps and there were hardly 2000 India specific sites that were listed on the Yahoo website. Yahoo was impressed with the website Mapsofindia because of the depth of information that it offered. So it joined hands with Mapsofindia to develop a directory structure within yahoo’s India sub-directory. This was named as Maps & Views. Side by side Yahoo also developed a directory structure called States and Union Territories. Yahoo then accommodated Mapsofindia in each section of its new directory structure. Chandigarh, Pond cherry, Haryana & the whole of the North East, were amongst the new directory structure created specifically to accommodate Mapsofindia.
