Though Indian IT might have turned 25 in 1981, but availability of regular information on the industry was still in its infancy. It was during those times that Pradeep Gupta conceived the idea of a computer magazine along with a few friends.

Resulted in the birth of Dataquest in December 1982. CyberMedia was floated as the parent company.

PG, as he is popularly known, has since then shown an uncanny sixth sense in bringing out publications at the right time covering every facet of IT-be it PC Quest in 1987, Voice&Data in 1994, CIOL in 1996, the channel publications as well as BioSpectrum in 2003 among others.

Several pretenders have thrown the gauntlet over the years, but CyberMedia still rules the roost with each publication leading in its domain.
