DigiPin: A Simple Digital Addressing Revolution by India Post

In our daily lives, the convenience of sharing an exact location has become more important than ever. From guiding friends to our homes, helping delivery agents reach us on time, or displaying a business address online, having an accurate, permanent, and easily shareable location has many advantages. India Post, with its continuous efforts towards modernization, has introduced a thoughtful and innovative service known as DigiPin. This digital initiative brings the ease of location sharing to every citizen in a reliable and user-friendly way.  

DigiPin is essentially a unique digital code that represents a specific point on the map. Through the official India Post DigiPin portal, users can open the map, mark their desired location, and immediately generate a DigiPin based on that position’s latitude and longitude. Along with the DigiPin, the system also provides a unique QR code and a link that directly point to that exact spot. This means you no longer have to describe directions endlessly or worry about someone struggling to find your house or workplace. Whether it is a family member visiting from another city, a courier delivery person trying to hand over your parcel, or a customer searching for your shop, DigiPin ensures they reach the right location without confusion.  

The beauty of DigiPin lies in its simplicity and reusability. Unlike manually dropping a pin on maps each time or repeatedly explaining directions, your DigiPin and its QR code remain tied to the digital coordinates you marked once. This makes it especially useful for businesses. For example, if you are running a shop or a service center, you can easily use the QR code for your DigiPin and display it on your business website, social media pages, or even on brochures and visiting cards. Customers only need to scan it, and they will instantly know the exact point where your establishment is located. It saves time, adds convenience, and improves accessibility.  

For individuals, using DigiPin is also extremely practical. Imagine planning a family gathering and needing to share your home location with relatives coming from far away. Instead of long explanations, a simple DigiPin code, QR image, or link does the job perfectly. Similarly, when ordering products online, especially in areas where delivery addresses can be confusing, you can share your DigiPin link with the delivery agent to ensure smooth and timely deliveries. No mix-ups, no calls asking for nearby landmarks, and no delays. It is like having a digital marker that stays accurate and ready to share whenever you need it.  

Another significant advantage is for rural areas and remote locations. Many smaller towns and villages often face the issue of unclear addressing systems. With DigiPin, residents there can simply mark their location on the map and generate a shareable code. This has the potential to improve delivery services, increase social connectivity, and even support emergency services by making it easier to locate people quickly.  

The process is simple: open the DigiPin portal, drop a marker on the map at the exact place you want to denote, and instantly get your unique DigiPin, QR code, and shareable link. You can then save them and share whenever necessary. Since it works directly on map coordinates, there is no question of complicated address formats or missing house numbers. It is a modern tool that gives you control over how your location is shared.

In today’s fast-paced world, where everything is moving toward digital ease, DigiPin stands out as a small but powerful step to simplify our everyday lives. It is a service that bridges tradition with technology, making location sharing stress-free, reliable, and permanent. Whether you are an individual, a family, or a business, DigiPin can help reduce confusion and make your location accessible at the tap of a button.


DigiPin is a reminder of how even small digital innovations can make everyday tasks simpler and more reliable. By turning a location into a permanent, shareable code with a QR and link, it reduces confusion, saves time, and builds trust for both individuals and businesses. From helping couriers and customers to supporting families and rural communities, its usefulness cuts across different aspects of daily life. As India continues moving toward a digital-first future, services like DigiPin show how technology can solve practical problems while making life more convenient and connected.

AskWorld.com — launched by Abin P — was the first web portal from the Malabar region (Kozhikode) of Kerala

Early beginnings with computers: In the mid-1980s, Abin P had his first exposure to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum . Programs were typed in BASIC and saved on ordinary audio cassettes, with the computer converting digital data into sound that could later be reloaded. This hands-on experience sparked a lifelong fascination with machines, electronics, and the process of learning by experimenting. Background: In the late 1990s, while working as a Software Instructor at a computer institute in Kozhikode, Abin P developed a keen interest in websites and the emerging internet. At that time, the internet had not yet reached Kozhikode. Abin immersed himself in computer magazines, which became his classroom. These magazines carried screenshots of websites, code samples, and detailed articles that explained how the web functioned. Using only these printed resources, he taught himself HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) coding and began designing complete websites on a Windows PC with a simple text ...

Kozhikode’s First LED Advertisement Dot-Matrix Display Board – A Technological Milestone in Malabar

Back in the late 1980s, Kozhikode witnessed a remarkable milestone in technology when a large Red LED dot-matrix display board was installed at Mananchira Park, the first and only unit of its kind in the city during that time. The LED display board was brought from Bangalore to Kozhikode by Premanand M.K , marking a pioneering step that introduced digital advertising to Malabar and gave a new option for advertisers for the first time. At a time when most advertising relied on static signboards and painted displays, this electronic board with bright, animated text immediately stood out as a symbol of innovation, curiosity and modernity in the heart of the city. The responsibility of operating and programming this display board system was handled with great dedication by two brothers, Anil Dayanand and Arun Dayanand , who were trained from Bangalore to operate and program the display system. They were already experienced software instructors since the mid-1980s, with early exposure...

Pratiksha Computer Centre, Calicut (Kozhikode) — started by Saji Kallat — was Kerala’s first private computer training institute.

Early phase: Training at Pratiksha Computer Centre began with the Sinclair ZX Spectrum in the mid-1980s, operating with BASIC and audio cassettes (Compact Cassette) as storage media, where students learned BASIC programming and used audio cassettes for saving programs . One of the most famous computers of that era was the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, released in 1982 in the UK and later brought to India by enthusiasts. At that time, the Spectrum was a rare machine in Kerala, and many students experienced their very first exposure to computers through this platform. Transition phase: By the time Personal Computers (PC) first became available in Kerala through sellers in Ernakulam, Saji Kallat immediately brought them to the institute. The centre introduced IBM PCs and compatibles, starting with Intel 8086 processors that used 5.25-inch floppy disks for storage. Students learned to boot the systems using floppy disks and practiced commands in text-only DOS environments...
