Trivone’s strategy is the ability to create world class content, which will enable it to build Digital media properties and offer managed services to clients. Currently the company offers services by way of creating, sourcing and packaging content for online delivery to a wide cross-section of large Enterprise customers.

Trivone is promoted by veteran journalist L. ‘Subu’ Subramanyan and it manages three premier IT Media Properties — www.techtree.com, www.channeltimes.com and www.cxotoday.com. The company plans to build several Digital media properties in specific verticals and increase its presence in the Digital Media landscape in India.

Earlier in the year Trivone had acquired the management rights for the three IT portals, viz., Techtree.com, ChannelTimes.com and CXOToday.com from UTV. Explaining the rationale for pure play digital media, Subu said, “Internet penetration in India is at the cusp of rapid growth. We see a tremendous opportunity for these properties to grow, both online and mobile.”
