Lalitesh Kattragadda is the brain behind the Google Map Maker project.
In this TED video, Lalitesh shares how Map Maker helped UN distribute relief to victims during Cyclone Nargis which was one of the worst natural disasters to have hit Myanmar (Burma).
An IIT-Mumbai alumni, Lalitesh founded a robotics startup that was later acquired by Google. Lalitesh also joined Google and moved to their Bangalore office to work on the Maps Maker project. I had an opportunity to meet Lalitesh at TED India.
