My story starts when I joined my new job. i shifted from my home town to new place, Kosikalan in UP. I was searching where my office was but couldn’t do it. I had to ask locals, and finally with their help, there I was. There was board in front of my eyes on a building which was showing the name of my work place in bold with the logo. The first thing I did after the formalities in office was to update the place in google maps so that no other person get that difficulty which I faced. And trust me, it helped that person who was going to be my best friend from the very first day. After two weeks after my joining, a new employee came to my office to join, and said she wasn’t expecting this place to be on google maps. It was a proud moment for me. I was helping people to visit the place easily. That was my first experience with google map and after that, I constantly search places to add on maps so I can help people in every possible way so they don’t have to depend on locals for every small detail.
