Quint Digital is India’s only listed pure-play digital media and media-technology company, built by the founders who previously created one of the country’s largest media conglomerates. It began with a mobile-first news platform and has since transformed into an AI-driven, multi-brand group spanning publishing, technology, and now physical lifestyle experiences. The recurring pattern is a founder-led bet on digital audiences - first building a flagship newsroom, then selling the publishing tools it developed to other newsrooms globally, and now using that technology and audience base to expand into agriculture content, southern-India journalism, and even franchised food markets. # Business segments Five engines at different stages - a flagship digital newsroom, a global SaaS platform for publishers, a southern-India news brand, a young-writer community, and a franchised food-and-culture market - each built on the audience and technology of the one before. ## 1. Quintype: the publishing software it built for itself, now sold to the world **An AI-powered content management system that over 300 publishers use to create, distribute and monetise stories - a SaaS business born from the company’s own newsroom needs.** - **A full-stack newsroom in a box** - Quintype gives digital publishers everything from content creation and SEO automation to real-time analytics and paywall tools, so they can focus on journalism rather than technology. - **AI that cuts costs and speeds up output** - the platform promises six-times-faster content creation and workflows that can run at up to 75% lower cost than traditional processes, using AI for drafting, paraphrasing, translation and headline suggestions. - **Global scale from Bangalore** - it handles more than a billion monthly page views and produces four million distinct narratives in 25 languages, serving marquee names like Gulf News, Khaleej Times, Deccan Herald and Fortune India. ## 2. The Quint: the flagship newsroom that started it all **A mobile-first, video-heavy digital news brand that reaches hundreds of millions of viewers and now bets on premium, subscription-worthy journalism.** - **Built for the phone, distributed everywhere** - The Quint publishes across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, WhatsApp and its own app, generating 476 million video views and two billion impressions in a single year. - **Fact-checking as a differentiator** - its WebQoof unit uses AI to spot misinformation in Hindi and English, building trust in a crowded information market. - **A deliberate pivot away from commodity news** - it has announced a planned pivot to enterprise articles, features and video by high-calibre journalists, aiming to drive subscription and pay revenue rather than chase ad-supported volume. - **Over 300 commercial partnerships** - revenue comes from a mix of reader payments, branded content, social collaborations and direct ad sales, with banking, financial services and education among the largest advertiser categories. ## 3. The News Minute: southern India’s independent newsroom **A digital platform with reporters on the ground in all five southern states, focused on politics and social issues from a feminist and human-rights perspective.** - **A distinct geographic and editorial lens** - The News Minute (TNM) covers Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala in text and video, filling a gap that national English-language outlets often overlook. ## 4. Youth Ki Awaaz: a crowdsourced platform for young India **India’s largest user-generated platform for young people, where over 200,000 contributors write about social, cultural and political issues - and which now doubles as a civic-data operation.** - **From storytelling to policy input** - it has transformed into India’s first civic data platform, running a Centre for Public Insights that turns citizen-generated quantitative and qualitative data into research meant to shape public policy. ## 5. Time Out India: a franchise that turns a media brand into a physical market **A bet that the global Time Out guide can become both a digital city magazine and a 24,500-square-foot food hall in Delhi - the first franchised Time Out Market anywhere in the world.** - **Two businesses under one brand** - Time Out Media runs a digital guide to India’s cities (launched in early 2026 for Delhi and Mumbai), while Time Out Market will bring top chefs, bars and a performance stage under one roof near Delhi’s international airport. - **A first-of-its-kind franchise deal** - the binding agreement signed in mid-2026 is the first time Time Out Group has franchised a Market rather than owning it, with Quint Digital funding and operating the venue while Time Out collects franchise fees. - **Media company moves into lifestyle** - the company describes this as an expansion from media and tech into India’s retail-cum-lifestyle commerce segment, requiring a change to its constitutional documents to permit hospitality operations. # Group structure and partners **A listed Indian parent with a growing American subsidiary, a stake in a NASDAQ-listed US newspaper chain, and a franchise relationship with a global lifestyle brand.** - **Global Media Technologies Inc. (GMT)** is the wholly owned US subsidiary that holds the group’s key technology assets - 90.15% of Quintype India and a controlling 50% stake in Quintype Technologies Inc., the American joint venture that owns Listen First Media. - **Shvaas Creations**, a 77.5%-owned subsidiary, runs the Kisan India agriculture platform and acquired the Quint Hindi YouTube channel when the company consolidated its Hindi content strategy. - **Quintillion Media Limited**, the former subsidiary that originally held The Quint, was merged into the parent in March 2025, simplifying the group structure.
