That cliché remains as fresh about 2500 years later. As we celebrate 35 years of PCQuest, boy has technology really changed in India during that period! But then so has PCQ!

The IBM PC was unveiled in 1981. India's New Computer Policy came in 1984. But it took many years for the PC to capture the imagination of India. When CyberMedia launched a Personal Computer magazine in 1987, it was way ahead of the times.

PCQ made sense of the Personal Computer and popularized it when no-one in India was quite sure of what it was. Understanding even the accessories was a challenge and PCQ helped out there too. Personal software. Enterprise software. Multimedia. PCQ demystified it all and helped an entire generation ease into technology in both their personal and professional lives. The effect of this was felt for decades to come and influenced both the tech industry and the personal habits the readers.

PCQ kept evolving. From being a PC magazine to a PC ecosystem magazine to a developer magazine to an IT implementation magazine to finally becoming a pure play tech magazine.
