Forbes looking for Indian partners

At the IAA World Congress, Steve Forbes, CEO, ‘Forbes’, revealed to agencyfaqs! his interest in launching the magazine in India. He said, “The current government regulations do not allow a foreign news and business publication to enter India, but we are trying to find a way.”

If the Indian government doesn’t relax its regulations, Forbes is ready to align with an Indian media house.

When asked whether he would liked ‘Forbes’ to be aligned with a media house that already brings out a business publication, Forbes said, “We are keeping an open mind.”

He clarified: “If an auto company can have multiple brands, why not a media company?”

However, Forbes did not specify any exact time-frame for the launch or for announcing a partnership.
