The Mission
Tourism infrastructure should empower communities, not extract from them.
HyprMaps provides white-label platform technology to destinations worldwide—
helping them own their tourism narrative without commissions, without vendor
lock-in, without selling out to big tech.
Why This Exists
After visiting tourist destinations across India, a pattern became clear:
Google Maps had outdated information. OTA platforms charged local businesses
significant commissions. The best recommendations came from conversations with
locals—hyperlocal knowledge no algorithm captured.
One question kept surfacing: Why don't tourist destinations have infrastructure
that serves their communities instead of Silicon Valley shareholders?
That question became HyprMaps.
The Model
HyprMaps is B2G SaaS. We license platform technology to tourism boards and
destination management organizations, not transaction fees from businesses.
Tourism boards customize with their branding, train local moderators, and decide
their own monetization strategy. We provide technology and ongoing support.
They own operations, relationships, and data.
We also operate consumer instances (starting with Varkala) at hyprmaps.com—both as
live demonstrations for government pitches and as sustainable revenue while
closing enterprise contracts.
Same technology platform, dual revenue streams, de-risked business model.
