    The large population of Indian descent in and around London have reason to cheer. Mail Today, a product of the joint venture of London’s Daily Mail and the India Today group, has announced its entry to London. The paper had launched in New Delhi four-and-a-half-years ago and Chandigarh more recently.

     

    “Targeting the large south Asian population in London, Mail Today wants to connect with the diaspora by bringing the best of Indian news packaged in a modern avatar,” Aroon Purie, Editor-in-Chief of the paper, wrote in the e-edition of the newspaper.

     

    British citizens of Indian descent as well as the growing number of Indian nationals studying or working in England have reason to cheer given the India Today group’s pre-eminence and of course Daily Mail’s local leadership.
