Commenting on the strategic alliance, Vijay Radhakrishnan, President and Co-founder Magzter opined, "We are quite excited and gung-ho about this new strategic alliance with WOI to distribute our digital magazines to passengers through the inflight entertainment channel on the aircraft. This is keeping in line with our vision to innovate and explore new avenues for Magzter to reach out to the global consumers and this step forward will now allow them to read digital magazines even when they are traveling on a flight. Most of the airlines are currently equipped with sophisticated and state-of-the-art software and screen equipped with HD quality display that will enable a reader to have an enjoyable reading experience."

"Magzter is keenly looking at enhancing the experience of digital reading to the global consumer and this development could mean that this just might act as a catalyst in accelerating the shift worldwide to digital reading," said Girish Ramdas, CEO and Co-founder Magzter.

"The opportunity to join hands with such a quality content provider was something that immediately excited us.
