INDIAN AEROSPACE & DEFENCE NEWS
The Indian Aerospace & Defence News (IADN) was founded by Mr Shantanu K. Bansal on 13 March 2012. The IADN is a leading defence and strategic media platform in India. Established in 2012 and based in New Delhi, IADN has consistently operated as a prominent and credible voice within the Indian defence and strategic community. The publication functions as a not-for-profit, non-partisan digital media entity, dedicated to providing exclusive, independent, and in-depth reporting and analysis on defence, strategic affairs, national security, international relations, and allied subjects. Over the years, IADN has emerged as one of the foremost platforms representing the perspectives and developments of the Indian defence industry.
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, and enthusiasts of the country, hence assisting in building the much-needed ‘strategic culture’ in the country. Having been inspired by 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 a million followers, hence having a prominent say on leading issues of national interest.
The IADN has a spotless record, and we have intact our quality of reporting as it should be. We have a team of editors, content writers and graphic designers from various backgrounds. Our serving and veteran team members have had the opportunity to associate with leading companies, institutions and government organisations.
