NextGen Science Media (NGSM), a start-up media venture that focuses on emerging medical science and technology trends for new-age clinicians, raised its first round of funding from Singapore-based Emerge Ventures, DC Books India and a group of individual investors. The company raised Rs 10 million as seed capital, which will be used to develop and launch high quality medical science and news content in print and digital formats in India.
NGSM on Monday unveiled its maiden product — India’s first medical science and technology news magazine, titled Emerge Ventures. The magazine, now available in print and digital formats will have doctors, healthcare professionals and allied medical industry as its primary audience. Dr Pratap C Reddy, Founder & Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group, 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,” said Dr Reddy. 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.
In this era of innovation, medical science is getting redefined by the day. New technologies aided by robotics and artificial intelligence are fast taking over certain medical procedures where precision is crucial, while genomics and molecular science push the boundaries of our knowledge further. It is also a time when India is witnessing revolutionary growth in healthcare industry, especially in the private sector, where an increasing number of doctors are taking up multiple roles of doctor, researcher and entrepreneur. This makes it imperative for the new-age doctors and the medical community in general to keep pace with the latest developments in the field from all over the world.
