CIO India, 1999 – 2002
When Boston based International Data Group started this magazine in 1987, the title CIO – Chief Information Officer was relatively new in America. When I was Managing Editor of this Magazine in India, more than 10 years later, this position was just about getting introduced. Who is CIO? that question is almost redundant now.
At one time, these were senior executive who would be reporting to the CEO in an enterprise or to the commanding officer in the military. As said often, all businesses are now software businesses and the role of the CIO is larger than ever.
In 1996, the CIO (US edition) website was launched as a companion to the magazine. By the end of 2015, the print version of the magazine was stopped altogether. CIO India (2000-2001) went on to win awards and accolades for both content and design. Leafing through them, reading what I wrote as editorials nearly two decades back, brought back some moments from the tech scene then as well as my journalistic writing.
Sharing some issues from my personal archives. Have uploaded some covers and a few of the editorials as well. Enjoy this blast from the past.
I continue to write and speak on education and related matters, follow me for updates from the museum of the past and a peak into the future through my journalistic lens.

Hi Ms Niv , So so proud of your work !! Leafing through the issues must have brought back a host of fond memories and many “ Wow “ moments in your journey as a journalist !! The editorials are brilliantly written as only you could write ! Years ago I attended a Summer office party my daughter invited me to and we bumped into a gentleman whom Natasha introduced me to as Mr McGuigan the CIO ! I must confess I was such an ignoramus then .. had to google to see what exactly they did 😂 Thank you for sharing ! Loads of love ! Take care Aru
