The other 2 portfolio sites of Trivone – Channeltimes and CXOtoday do not seem to have significant traction as of now.
However, being a publisher myself – I am glad that VC’s are now open to putting in money and believe in growth of online properties in India.
Do you think we will see more investment in online media publishing space?
