Go East: Indian Magazines boost Emap portfolio
Emap has joined BBC Worldwide in the rush to own a slice of the action in the Indian magazine market. As reported in The Scotsman, Emap has bought into Next Gen Publishing of Mumbai.
However, Next Gen's own press release sheds a little more light on the purchase. It is actually Emap Publishing (Nederland) B. V.which has acquired a 40.1% stake. Next Gen already licenses two titles from Emap - CAR INDIA and FHM India.
