Its vision is to be able to respond to 30 million emergency calls and save one million lives each year. GVK EMRI has plans of expanding its coverage and its fleet to meet its visions and achieve more.
In the recent years, GVK EMRI has demonstrated increased emphasis on research and analytics. It is planning to enhance its overall emergency management response services in a significant way through its research and analytics. If GVK EMRI’s efforts become successful, individual sufferings are seen to reduce significantly.
The success of any centralized emergency management system lies, in part, in the technology used. When the major processes are automated, response is quicker and more precise. GVK EMRI uses the computer communication toolkit (CCT), the Geospatial Information System (GIS) Maps, the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Automatic Vehicle Locating Technology (AVLT), and a state-of-the-art application software for search and rescue. For GVK EMRI, technology is the backbone that supports the entire organization in attaining its commitment and ability to respond to emergencies in a more precise manner.
GVK EMRI’s private partners are among the best in their respective fields. Among them are Mahindra Satyam, National Emergency Number Association, American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin, Shock Trauma Center (USA), and Stanford University (USA). They also maintain relationships with the Singapore Health Services, American Academy for Emergency Medicine in India (USA), Richmond Ambulance Service (USA), Geomed Research (Germany), City of Austin (USA), Carnegie Mellon University (USA), and Public Health Foundation of India.
