Commenting on the launch, Profenx CEO John Rowe said,“We are delighted to introduce Profenx to the world. The industry is crying out for a fresh approach, and we believe our stripped down, technology driven approach can steer the creation of the high quality, high value content that consumers increasingly demand. We have already started working on three initial projects to test our approach, and we’ll be announcing these in due course.”
Jaipur Capital director Vikas Johari said, “We are excited at the potential for Profenx to reshape the digital publishing sector and in particular its ability to help us accelerate our ambitious video-first publishing plans across Asia.
