  Even though the Indian corporate data field is crowded with many players, hardly anyone could match IAR’s pioneering effort in coding and assemblage of Industry Segments and Business Empires. Whereas others simply compare ‘apple to apple’, IAR is able to differentiate through a Unique Proprietary Coding, within apples, ‘Kashmir’ variety from ‘Shimla’ or ‘imported’ ones.

  Also, as another first in India, IAR has attempted an innovative alignment of all the ‘offshoots’ of established Industrial Empires/Business Families linking them up to Four Generations. Through a meticulous coding, IAR is able to establish the ultimate ownership of all the foreign holdings in Indian companies. The reliability of IAR’s data is enhanced by the assiduousness with which data is collected, processed and maintained.

 The backbone of IAR is indeed its dedicated Data-mine which serves the twin objectives of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Quality Data at Economical Cost. Located in a remote area in Thirunelveli District of Tamil Nadu, the Data-mine attracts highly talented rural youth who cannot afford an urban livelihood. As rural human resources are less susceptible to distractions as compared to their urban counterparts, the Data-mine has consistently achieved higher efficiency and seamless accuracy which has put IAR ahead of its competitors.
