Our Group
Informatics was promoted three decades ago with a vision to pioneer the business of e-information in India, with scholarly and research content being the prime focus. Headquartered in Bangalore, the silicon valley of India, Informatics has come a long way in promoting e-information usage culture in the academic and corporate world. With a group turnover of more than US$ 25 million, Informatics has a team of over 130 well-qualified personnel, sales offices spread over length and breadth of India and a team of distributors across the globe. The Company currently provides services to more than 1,000 clients globally.
Informatics’ commitment to provide affordable and cutting-edge information products and services has endeared the group to the Indian research community and as such catalyzed the development of products like:
