Write short notes on Indo Asian News Service

The Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) was founded by Indian American publisher Gopal Raju as the India Abroad News Service in 1986. Later it was later renamed the Indo-Asian News Service. The IANS has main offices located in New Delhi.

IANS serves several hundred outlets across the entire media spectrum, in India and around the world. It performs a whole range of other information services as well.

IANS is divided into six Strategic Business Units (SBUs): IANS English, IANS Hindi, IANS Publishing, IANS Business Consultancy, IANS Solutions, and IANS Mobile.

The News Service, in both English and Hindi, forms the heart of the IANS operation. It presents objective, user-friendly news with a global perspective. This makes it the preferred, content provider and knowledge resource on India, Indians and South Asia.

IANS breaks through often cliched and stereotyped reporting about this part of the world. Its talented team of journalists and contributors - some of the best in India - produces a steady output of diverse, well-researched news and backgrounders, features, interviews, analyses and commentaries.

Its client list includes a range of print publications, television news channels, websites, ethnic publications abroad, government ministries, foreign missions, private sector players, and multilateral institutions.
