Director from India for UBM

We spoke yesterday of United Business Media's strong 1H results. We note with interest today on Contentsutra.com that the company has just appointed Pradeep Kar to its board. The report notes that Kar was founder of Planetsia.com and Indya.com and is now chairman of IT infrastructure outsourcing firm Microland.

UBM, under relatively new CEO David Levin is focusing serious attention on India with both CMP Asia and CMP Medica pushing hard to establish a viable presence there. We noted in September last year as well, CMP Media (from the US) tying up with Cybermedia on outsourcing media projects.
