Here's what triggered a 10% surge in shares of MapMyIndia-parent CE Info Systems

Shares of CE Info Systems Ltd., parent company of location services provider MapMyIndia, surged as much as 10% on Monday, October 13, on hopes of a potential integration with locally built chat and calling app "Arattai", developed by Sridhar Vembu's Zoho, along with social media posts by Railways and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.

In response to a user on "X", who proposed that MapMyIndia's app Mappls should be integrated with the Arattai app, MapMyIndia Director Rohan Verma responded that they will be happy to make this happen.

"And it will be extra special to have Arattai embed it. For users this would mean super easy and exact sharing of location’s front doorstep and address details versus other apps/maps where the location pin ends up being on the back road / other side of the road etc and not having the address detail etc," Verma wrote on "X."

We would be happy to make this happen! Any app developer can do so by embedding Mappls APIs and SDKs - read more at https://t.co/QuHlsg5FKD. And it will be extra special to have Arattai embed it.

MapMyIndia was also featured during one of minister Ashwini Vaishnaw's presentations, where he wrote on "X" that the presentation was created using "Zoho Show" and maps were sourced from Mappls by MapMyIndia.

Verma had thanked the minister in subsequent tweets as well for the product being used.

On October 11, Vaishnaw again posted about using Mappls, stating that it has "good features" and is a "must try."

Shares of CE Info Systems are currently trading 7.4% higher on Monday at ₹1,822.5. The stock is still away from its current 52-week high of ₹2,204.
