India Flag

India perhaps wins the crown for being the most fragmented media market there is. With over 500 TV channels, 7,000 daily newspapers and more than 70,000 magazines – and an increasing number of entrants from the Western world – the market can easily be deemed hectic. However, demand continues to keep prices rising.
