Digit Magazine

Digit Magazine is a monthly Indian technology magazine that was launched in June 2001 by Jasubhai Digital Media[2] (JDM) Private Limited, which was then bought over by the 9.9 Group in December 2007.[3] According to the last Indian Readership Survey results[4] (IRS 2011 Q1), it has a readership of about 230,000.[5][4] The IRS surveys have shown Digit to be the most-read technology magazine in India.[6]

An assortment of Digit Covers

Each issue of Digit used to include the magazine itself, two dual-layer DVDs called alpha and omega,[7] a mini-book called Fast Track[8], a gaming supplement called SKOAR!,[9] a science booklet called dmystify, and a poster. Fast Track is an in-depth reference guide on any given sub-topic of information technology, such as web publishing and open source software. The Fast Track series are aimed as an introductory guide to a topic. The dmystify is a pocketbook introduction to complex science topic such as General relativity, Quantum Mechanics, String theory, etc.

There are two special issues every year: their Anniversary Special[10] (published in June), and their Collector's Edition[11] (year-end December special). In addition to the standard magazine package contents, each of these issues also includes competitions, booklets, calendars, and posters.

In 2013, Digit introduced a supplement to the magazine named DGT. Mainly it focuses on lifestyle technology rather than mainstream technology. This has now been moved into the main Digit magazine as a section and replaced with a SKOAR! supplement.

On 30 May 2014, Digit changed its domain to www.digit.in in order to better reflect its focus on India. On the occasion of the magazine's 13th anniversary, Digit sported a brand-new avatar and responsive design for its website with some added features in the form of “Digit Zero1 Award”[12].
