Next Gen's remarkable growth since its inception in 2005 in the fiercely competitive special interest publishing space is largely about self belief. A group of 6 individuals armed with a capital of a few lakhs, believed they could build a publishing house to feed the hunger for specialized content in a country that continues to grow at a torrid pace. With eight dominant magazine brands and successful forays into five business channels in related areas, that belief stands largely vindicated.
From six people the company has grown into a 200 people, Rs 18 -crore publishing major with national presence. The company now has six consumer titles, Car India, Bike India, Computer Active, Mother and Baby, The Ideal Home and Garden and Smart Photography and it has two business/trade magazine titles Commercial Vehicles and Power Watch India. Among these titles Computer Active, Car India & Mother and Baby are licensed titles and the balance are indigenous titles.
