About Us
Prakash Nanda
Editor-in-Chief
The idea of launching a platform of Indians, by Indians, and for Indians (living in India or elsewhere in the world) stemmed from the need of compiling and disseminating positive and inspiring information towards the emergence of India as a major global power at a time when countless journalistic enterprises are thriving regrettably on showcasing scintillating and negative stories.
Indian Century Media Group is the brainchild of Prakash Nanda, an author and journalist, who has always tried to blend the rigour of academics with the craft of journalism.
