Bangalore, (Karnataka) [India], May 15, 2025: Bangalore-based Informatics Publishing Ltd has quietly shaped the digital backbone of India’s research and library landscape for the last 45 years. Founded on May 5th, 1980, by award-winning Information Scientist Mr. N.V. Sathyanarayana, the company has consistently stayed ahead of the curve in academic and research support. With J-Gate, now the world’s largest discovery platform for eJournals, Informatics has helped countless researchers across public institutions and private universities access scholarly content with ease.
At its core, Informatics is a technology company. But more than that, it is a partner to the academic and research community. The company has become a trusted name in knowledge management, which ranges from building custom digital libraries to supporting the evolving needs of higher education and public libraries. Its solutions don’t just stop at software. Informatics ensures its tools are intuitive, scalable, and built for the user, whether that’s a librarian, a professor, or a PhD scholar.
Informatics has also played a pivotal role in shaping how libraries engage with technology. It started the Library Technology Conclave (LTC), India’s first tech conclave focused solely on libraries. What began as a niche initiative has now grown into a much-anticipated event, bringing together thought leaders, librarians, and innovators every year.
The company’s unique strength lies in being a one-stop solution for digital libraries. But its impact reaches beyond. Informatics has assisted both government and private research institutions in improving how they manage and access research. And now, as the information ecosystem evolves, the company is expanding its expertise to help corporates with document management systems and research-based information services.
After decades of working closely with libraries and academic bodies, Informatics is now ready for a broader leap. The company wants to move even closer to end users. It wants to become a critical link in India’s corporate information infrastructure, carrying forward the same legacy of innovation and integrity that has made it a household name among education and research stakeholders.
The journey continues, but the mission remains the same: to empower research, enhance access, and bring clarity to information.
