The IADN is a leading independent defence and strategic news and information providing website. It is a ‘not-for-profit’ ‘self-sustaining’ ‘non-partisan’ ‘knowledge-building’ website providing exclusive, independent and in-depth news and analysis on leading defence, strategic, security and related issues pertaining to India.
It was founded by Mr. Shantanu K. Bansal in March, 2012. Since then with support of team of editors, IADN has come-up as a leading defence news and information sharing platform.
The IADN is a unique venture which has played an instrumental role in taking defence and strategic issues to the wider audience that was then limited to some scholars/military professionals/enthusiasts of the country, hence assisting building the much needed ‘strategic culture’ in the country. Having inspired from IADN many such news and analysis platforms mushroomed across the open domain.
With extreme efforts, the IADN has been able to transform itself into an open information and knowledge sharing platform. Time and again through its unique way of reporting, it has touched many minds hence providing a way for better policy orientation in the sector it serves. Today IADN is backed by a strong, ever-growing community of more than 4 Lakh followers hence having a prominent say on leading issues of national interest.
