Reuters has announced that it will significantly increase its coverage of India, more than doubling the number of Reuters reporters covering India. The move marks a significant expansion of Reuters’ coverage of local foreign exchange, fixed income and equity markets, government policy, the regulatory environment, and public companies to provide world-class intelligence to Refinitiv’s customers in India.
Teams across Reuters India offices will create a steady stream of quick alerts, exclusive offers, interviews, analyses, and trends for the trading and investing community. The latest news from Reuters via Refinitiv is the provider of Reuters News to the financial industry – it’s at the heart of Reuter news service.
Expanded coverage will be led by Ira Dugal, who joins Reuters as India Financial News Editor. He will play a key role in providing an in-depth financial and markets news offering to Refinitiv’s clients in India and beyond. Dugalová was previously at BQ Prime, where she worked as an executive editor.
Reuters Interim President Matt Keen said: “The investment in Reuters News in India will deliver an integrated, high-quality news service that excels in both depth and breadth, providing coverage at the scale and speed that only Reuters can offer. Reuters brings enterprise technology and global infrastructure to ensure consistency and continuity of service 24/7 to deliver the most trusted and unbiased news in the Indian market.”
Reuters Editor-in-Chief Alessandra Galloni said: “Expanding our presence in India will enable Reuters to provide unrivaled coverage of India’s financial markets and business in India and around the world. We are delighted to have Ira join the team to lead Reuters’ coverage of this critical story.
Ranjit Pawar, South Asia Market Head, Refinitiv said: “Reuters’s stronger focus on Indian news will deliver a better experience for our Eikon and Workspace users and enable customers to create innovative news-based digital solutions. With expanded coverage, we expect our users to benefit from the latest news and opinion, be the first to hear about government or regulatory changes, and gain deeper insight into the forex, fixed income, and equity markets.
