Indiainformer.com is an information-providing site on Indian companies and the Indian economy. Almost all types of news and business information are available ranging from database to news to analysis to economic indicators.
Interesting thing to know is that none of the information is generated or edited here. It is a kind of clipping service where you can get information from various sources (8 newspapers, 3 magazines, CRISIL, CARE, CMIE reports etc) on one platform.
The site is equipped with a search engine, which gives quick returns to your queries, and there is mail alert too, which alerts you whenever there are new updates.
The registration process is very simple, but here comes the clincher and that brushes off most off the things - you will have to shell out Rs 5000 per annum if you register under the individual service option. This includes free credit of Rs 4000. Once you finish this limit, monthly billing starts, depending upon the information you access and its original source- there is a price list for everything!
The second option is for the corporates to access heavy and specialised information. This comes with yearly flat fee subscription.The consultants at indiainformer will evaluate your organisation’s information requirement and recommend appropriate solution. Sounds interesting, isin’t it?
Wish to know my humble opinion about the site? It is worthless to shell out your hard earned money for newsletters from magazines like businessline, business world, outlook, overdrive, India today etc or for newspapers like ET, FE, TOI etc when you can access them on the net, as most of these are available online and that too for free!
As far as other reports are concerned, yes! they do come cheap than if you go to get them from their original sources. And therefore it is a useful site for business analysts, consultants etc.
But if you just want to collect comparative information or some information for preparing project report, this is not a site for you. There are many free sites where you can access similar information and don’t be troubled to log on to Indiainformer.com.
