In order to give an idea about NAVIC, Inshorts and Office Chai have jointly created an explainer video which, in 90 seconds, gives a clear idea about it. So, before we become lost basking in the glory, let us find out what NAVIC is all about: What does NAVIC stand for? Where does it place us on the international standard? How many satelites does NAVIC consist of? When were they launched? How does it work? Who will benefit from this GPS system?
