Observant readers will have noticed that the I4S India channel has been up and running for a little while now.
The channel aims to provide daily news for the security and associated sectors, and will work closely with the IFSEC India exhibition – which has already proven successful in 2007 and 2008 – to educate and inform the Indian industry, and provide opportunities for networking and investing in the thriving market on the sub-continent. Its stated aim is to be the number one resource for the Indian security industry.
I4S India is helmed by dedicated and experienced editor Verghese V Joseph. Based in Bangalore, he has nearly fifteen years of editorial experience and has been part of the editorial team in various capacities in organisations such as The Times of India, ITspace.com, The Economic Times, The Financial Express and Lokmat Times. He also headed the Industrial Economist, a fortnightly magazine, as its Executive Editor.
Verghese will be updating news on a daily basis, and shortly will be launching a weekly newsletter pointing out the news highlights for busy readers.
A new home for Indian security news
As you may have noticed, I4S India joins SMT Online and our Security Installation and IFSEC channels on the info4security.com home page.
The channel sections will continue to be populated with news as it grows over coming weeks and months.
