It is evident that the world has opened their eyes to India. The acquisition of ContentNext Media by the Guardian News & Media (GNM) is evidence enough.

Valued at $30million according to industry sources the acquisition gives Guardian Group its own Indian digital news portal. ContentNext Media has been a premier online news portal offering the best of Indian content.

ContentNext Media owns paidContent.org, mocoNews.net, contentSutra.com and paidContent:UK. Founder Rafat Ali has all reason to celebrate (especially after the resignation of chief editor Nikhil Pahwa).

This acquisition opens the door to a whole new world for Indian new aggregators.
