DIGIT is, Once Again, India's Most Read Technology Magazine in India as per the Indian Readership Survey (IRS) 2009


New Delhi, Delhi, India, Monday, December 14, 2009 -- (Business Wire India) -- 9.9 Media wishes to thank its readers and is proud to announce that its publication DIGIT has been recognized, once again, as the #1 Technology Magazine in India in terms of readership in the 2009 Indian Readership Survey (R2).

The IRS survey indicates that Digit continues to be the dominant source for readers to stay updated on the latest in technology. With a readership base of 1,77,000, Digit leads the technology magazines across all age groups, SEC segments and professions. IRS Survey is an independent readership survey conducted annually across India. It covers 350+ publications across 24 states and 91 cities. Digit's large readership is a testimony to its strong appeal to technology friendly readers beyond just the technology professionals. The strength of its content and engagement with the readers is underscored by the fact that its readership, far exceeding most specialty magazines, is in spite of one of the highest cover price on the stands. The readership of Digit not only represents a significant market for technology products on its own but is also the most influential community when it comes to advice on technology buying decisions for a large majority of Indian consumers.

Each monthly issue of Digit comes with two free DVDs and a Fast Track guide. The articles cover technology used by the readers in their personal and professional lives. The DVDs helps users experience the latest software, games and tools helping readers discourage use of pirated software in India. Digit has recently launched its first Season of Digit TV on its DVDs. The Fast Track guide provides tips and tutorials on commonly used software and products.
