NextGen Science Media (NGSM), a start-up media venture, has raised Rs 1 crore in its first round of funding from Singapore-based Emerge Ventures, DC Books India and a group of individual investors. The company will use the proceeds to launch medical science news content in both print and digital formats.
NGSM has unveiled its maiden product - Future Medicine – a medical science and technology news magazine in print and digital formats, with doctors, healthcare professionals and allied medical industry as primary audience. Apollo Hospitals Group Founder & Chairman Pratap C Reddy received the first copy of this premium monthly at an august function in New Delhi.
“Future Medicine is a uniquely positioned medical science and technology news magazine that not only enriches knowledge for Indian doctors with emerging scientific trends from across the world, but also provides a great platform for doctors, researchers and medical students to discuss and debate the latest and most relevant topics in medical science,” Reddy said.
He added that this magazine will help in driving greater awareness and provide latest knowledge access to India’s healthcare setup that is critically missed in our country and I am sure this will be a game changer.
“The launch of Future Medicine marks the culmination of years of ideation and deliberations among doctors, researchers, regulators and industry stakeholders about building a single-point solution to help India’s medical community keep pace with these changes. At the same time, Future Medicine - a first-of-its-kind news magazine, upholds the strictest editorial standards and will function with complete independence,” said C.H. Unnikrishnan, Founder & Editor of Future Medicine, and Director, NGSM.
