Explore the world the way an inventor would: tap a state to see its story, colour the world by population, or spin a 3D globe to see where the inventions in our guides happened. Everything here runs in your browser and the base maps are built from free public-domain data.
Educational map, not a survey document and not to scale. The outer boundary, including all of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, is drawn as per the official position of India. Inner outlines are simplified. Base data: Natural Earth (public domain). Regions (North, South and so on) are an informal grouping for learning.
Educational map, not a survey document. Country outlines follow India’s official position on its boundary and are simplified. Population and GDP are rough estimates from Natural Earth (public domain).

How these maps are made
The India and world maps are drawn in your browser with the open-source D3 library, using simplified outlines from Natural Earth, a public-domain map dataset. The 3D globe uses the open-source Globe.gl library with NASA Blue Marble imagery, also free to use. Because every layer is open data, the maps can be reused for classroom or business projects without licence problems.
We checked the India outline against the official extent of the country, from about 6.7 to 37.1 degrees north and 68.1 to 97.4 degrees east, so that Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh appear complete, as Indian law expects for maps published in India.
