Commenting on the development, Amit Sharma, Whole Time Director, Matrix Geo Solutions Limited, said, “This assignment allows us to apply our survey and GIS capabilities to a large and technically detailed project in Southern Africa. The project involves diverse terrain conditions and a wide range of datasets, which will require careful planning and coordinated execution by our technical teams. It also gives us the opportunity to integrate newer workflow efficiencies that we have been building into our recent international assignments. Our teams will be involved across the full cycle of the project, from data capture to geoportal development. We look forward to delivering the outcomes in line with the client’s specifications and operational timelines.”

This announcement follows the company’s recent financial disclosure for H1 FY26, in which Matrix Geo reported Total Income growth of 58.21%, Revenue from Operations growth of 58.45%, and a 33.22% increase in Profit After Tax (PAT) over the corresponding period last year.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
