Leading technology media company CyberMedia (India) has been ranked as the

top business publishing house in the country as per the report of US based

American Business Media on Business Media Opportunities in India. The report was

prepared by Business Strategic Group of Hong Kong, a major Asian business

biggest segment among specialized publications. "I am glad that CyberMedia's

contribution and position in the business publishing is being recognized by an

independent body. I would attribute this success to our strategy of identifying

high growth niche areas such as IT, communications and bio-tech, and focusing on

them," said Pradeep Gupta, chairman and MD of CyberMedia
