Co-Founder & CEO
Nitesh Kumar

Welcome to OHOMAPS LLP. OHOMAPS is how I like to imagine Maps of the future; a two dimensional representation on paper, used to understand Geography and Data, but enhanced to provide users with a meaningful experience. With the ever increasing digital world, I aimed to create geospatial content that was value driven and user focused.

My work as the Founder and CEO of OHOMAPS is centered around the creation and improvement of a quality online platform that is precise, user-friendly and innovative for the use of students, researchers, professionals and ordinary internet users. My main goal is to provide the very best digital maps experience by creating the most accurate political maps, quality thematic maps and maps with detailed data for various countries and regions all over the world and easy to use.

Part of our OHOMAPS vision is represented by BurningCompass. The environment is rapidly changing, and in order to responsibly raise awareness of global challenges, it is vital to utilise data and visuals. Nothing is better suited to present global information in a simple format to the general public than the good old map. We created the BurningCompass products with exactly this aim in mind.

As we step into the future, it is essential that we know where we are going and what we intend to do. I wish to share my vision with the readers of our website BurningCompass.com.

In order to strengthen our online presence, to provide a better experience to our users and to disseminate correct information/ contents with a purpose. This is our new endeavour and we intend to be the leaders in the Geospatial Sector with this.

As Co-Founder & COO of OHOMAPS LLP, I am responsible for shaping the overall vision, strategy and message for the two platforms. With our experience, We all know that information is most powerful when it is communicated most effectively in a clear, simple, meaningful and relevant format for the target audience, so that they are able to understand, relate and take action. This philosophy has guided the concept and design of OHOMAPS and BurningCompass.

BurningCompass is a unique, striking and highly informative global warming / climate change themed website. Firstly, the idea of a “burning compass” is a very powerful metaphor for global warming. Secondly, the problem of melting ice caps and rising sea levels is something that is increasingly affecting people right now. The website aims to raise awareness of the problem and to provide users with interesting, informative and thought-provoking content on the subject.

I have been exploring new online platforms where I can share my work. My goal is to create highly informative maps that feature interesting data, incorporate real world context, and highlight current environmental and social issues of our planet and associated messages.

My work focuses on making things clear, purposeful and effective. I try to make user centred content, and strategic guidance for the department as a whole, to help add value to users. Whether to beautifully gaze at the Earth’s landscapes, or to equip users with more knowledge to live in the world around them.

OHOMAPS LLP & BurningCompass are growing and I want to ensure our mission of awareness, education & innovation strengthens as we evolve.
