A new magazine for the entrepreneurs, from South Asia's largest specialty media group, CyberMedia, is on the Indian newsstands. The magazine, appropriately called 'Dare' is targeted at the existing entrepreneurs aspiring to take the company to a global level; those entering the area of entrepreneurship; established entrepreneurs; and the banks, venture capitalist and the angel funds. 

Speaking about the first of its kind of independent magazine on entrepreneurship from india, Mr. Pradeep Gupta, Publisher of CyberMedia, said, "India is once again re-discovering itself as the hot bed of Entrepreneurship as the Indian economy gears up for a 9% plus growth. Indians have been great entrepreneurs and country needs resources to understand the eco-system." 

Dare will nurture, promote, chronicle, critique and influence the entrepreneurial ecosystem and be a catalyst to the growth of entrepreneurship. 

Entrepreneurship is where India's future lies. India needs to create lakhs of new businesses in urban, semi-urban and rural areas in order to provide opportunities to the large number of Indian youth who today are charged with a new energy, and have the confidence to build a stronger future for themselves and for India. 

Eminent academics, first generation entrepreneurs on Board of Advisors 
Dare' eminent board of advisors is made up of eminent academics and management thinkers like CK Prahalad from University of Michigan and Philip Anderson, Professor of Entrepreneurship, INSEAD and entrepreneurial role models like NR Narayanamurthy (Chief Mentor, Infosys), Kiran Mazumdar Shaw (CMD, Biocon), Gururaj Desh Deshpande (Chairman, Sycamore Networks). The advisors also include first generation entrepreneurs turned mentors like Saurabh Srivastava (Chairman, Indian Venture Capital Association), Kanwal Rekhi (Chairman, The Indus Entrepreneurs), Ramesh Wadhwani (Chairman, Wadhwani Foundation) and R. Gopalakrishnan (Executive Director, Tata Sons). 

Dare Group Editor Krishna Kumar says, "'Dare' will cover the entire gamut of activities starting with the idea, funding, creating an organisation, marketing logistics, branding, growth and value realization, and environment policy and law." 

The 108-page monthly, priced at Rs 30 per issue, will have inspiring first person account as well as loads of knowledge on different aspects of entrepreneurship. Dare stories will be a mix of reporting and analysis. The magazine will cover stories like 'How does private equity work?' Or how can business owners take their business to the next level. 

When CyberMedia was founded in 1982, India's Knowledge Industry was just taking shape. Recognizing the emergence of this new segment, it decided to publish India's first Information Technology magazine, Dataquest, at a time when the IT industry's annual revenues were less than Rs. 100 crore! Dataquest nurtured, promoted, chronicled, critiqued and influenced the industry and has been a catalyst in the industry's growth. 

CyberMedia has continued the same pioneering spirit by launching Voice & Data for the Telecom industry; PC Quest for small and medium businesses and BioSpectrum to service the nascent biotech industry. The group's journey over the last 25 years has been synonymous with the evolution of India's technology journalism as well as B2B media. CyberMedia is the first media house to have ventured outside the country to a global audience -- publishing two magazines, BioSpectrum Asia from Singapore and Global Services from the USA, the first Indian magazine titles to be published from outside the country for a global audience.
