Times Group India

Times Group India

The Times Group family office was established to manage the wealth generated by the Jain family's media empire, which includes The Times of India, the world's largest-selling English-language daily. The office operates from New Delhi and has been active for over two decades, evolving from a vehicle for holding media assets into a diversified investment platform. Its investment strategy spans multiple asset classes: public equities, private equity venture capital, and real estate. The office has made direct investments in Indian startups and growth-stage companies, including positions in consumer technology and media-adjacent sectors. It also commits to external fund managers, focusing on India-focused private equity and venture capital funds. Geographically, the portfolio is concentrated in India, with selective exposure to global markets through fund investments. Scale is undisclosed, but the office is capitalized by the Jain family's media wealth, which includes assets like Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. The team size is not publicly known. The family also maintains philanthropic activities through the Times of India philanthropic initiatives, though separate from the office's investment mandate. A structural differentiator is the office's dual role as both a traditional family office and an extension of the family's media business. Unlike many single-family offices that operate independently, the Times Group office maintains close ties to the operating company, often co-investing in media and technology ventures that align with the group's strategic interests.
