votes

we will have ~300K business address information daily(without geocodes),

for which we are supposed to do some analysis (geocodes are required for us, we are using google geocoding API for this)

but the limit are : 2,500 requests per 24 hour period

how can i increase these limits ?

If Google Maps for Business license is the only solution (100,000 requests per 24 hour period), can we take licence only for geocoding service ?

please suggest

Not directly an answer to your question but you could use a different address source, for example OpenStreetMap. - scai

perhaps you could hire some (30) developers with API credentials to borrow their keys for this task?

If you can somehow build the logic of your app so that the requests are being sent from the client side and on a per-user basis, you should be fine.

From Geocoding Strategies:

As geocoding limits are per user session, there is no risk that your application will reach a global limit as your userbase grows. Client-side geocoding will not face a quota limit unless you perform a batch of geocoding requests within a user session. Therefore, running client-side geocoding, you generally don't have to worry about your quota.
