Apologies for the long lay-off. Our launch revelry consumed practically one whole week—leaving us barely another week to close an entire edition. Considering that, we haven’t done too badly. There are plenty of surprises in store in the second issue. It hits the stands on Friday, June 5.
It is really great to be in business with a Forbes by my side.
on Aug 16, 2009Congrats on the launch of the inaugural edition. I've been subscribing to the Asian edition and it's good to have a more India-focussed issue. I liked the content, mostly, but I think you should resist the temptation to 'jazz it up' too much and retain the intellectual flavor of Forbes International. Please have the regular columns by Lee Kuan Yew, Steve Forbes, etc. featured. And the quality of editing and proofreading needs to be improved. And the print quality! I picked this up at a jewellery store in Chennai where they were handing it out to customers, and it looked like one of those 2nd rate city socialite magazines! Please, please make it look like a classy newsmagazine - which means glossy printing on thin paper - like The Economist, Businessweek, Time, Newsweek, et.al! Have the International Forbes team even looked at a final copy of the Indian edition?! I'm sure they would not be happy with the paper and print quality.
on Jun 3, 2009IG quite honestly there is too much of diagnosis and hind-sight wisdom being dispensed on the stands that one can live without. What probably one needs today is thoughts that can spark ideas that open new opportunities , showcase more leelabhai's which can help rejuvenate entrupeneurship whiich is at an all time low. I am sure you are seening this gap and are going to fill it. We have huge belly of young demographic that can unleash a new spirit in entruprenuership which is so desperately required in these times.
