Ideas for a map of Indian states and union territories

A map of the Indian states and union territories is the usual base for a state-by-state plan: where a product has launched, where the next office opens, which regions a team covers. It opens in the editor with the 28 states and 8 union territories drawn as separate shapes, so every one can take its own colour.

A rollout or coverage slide

Choose one colour per stage of a rollout and click each state into place: launched, next, later. A legend with the three stage names turns the map into a progress slide that a board reads in seconds. For a sales or service team, give each manager a colour instead, and pin the offices in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Bengaluru so the slide shows both who covers what and where they sit.

Study, travel and reports

Students can colour the states they have covered, add a title and a short legend, and print the result for a project. Travellers can pin the cities on a trip, join them with a route and numbered stops, and use the PNG in an itinerary or a blog post. For a report that has a figure for every state, the choropleth map of India colours the states from pasted values, so you do not have to band them by hand.

Making it yours

Start on the page: pick a colour in the bar and click the states you want. State lines shows or hides the lines between them. With Customise this map, the editor's place list names every state and union territory, so Goa, Sikkim or Puducherry can be picked by name instead of found on the map. The map is drawn with the international boundaries, and in the editor the Boundaries setting can draw them as recognised by one of several countries, with a boundary note.

For slides

Set the canvas to 16:9 and the map fills the slide. Download a PNG with Transparent on for a slide with its own background, or use Copy image and paste. Minimal suits a board pack and Dark a deck with a dark theme. The map for PowerPoint page has more, and the editable map of India opens the country on its own.
