Under the MoU, PhonePe PulsePro metrics will be integrated into the PM GatiShakti National Master
Plan portal, managed in collaboration with the Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications
and Geo-informatics (BISAG-N). This will give government planners access to granular, hyperlocal
transactional insights drawn from PhonePe's extensive digital transaction ecosystem, complementing
existing datasets and supporting smarter, data-driven decisions for national development planning.
Sharing his views on the MoU, Shri S. Krishnan, Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information

of PhonePe Pulse, we have seen how transaction-led insights can help build a more nuanced
understanding of markets and emerging trends. PhonePe PulsePro takes this intelligence further through
granular, hyperlocal, and near-real-time market signals. By making these insights available to MeitY, we
hope to contribute to a stronger data ecosystem and support more informed, evidence-based infrastructure
planning. We are delighted to play our part in enabling the use of data for broader public good."
