Bennett Coleman and Company Limited[3][4] (abbreviated as B.C.C.L. and d/b/a The Times Group) is an Indian media conglomerate headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra.[5] The company, which is a family-owned business, publishes The Times of India newspaper, which is the highest selling daily English-language newspaper in India, in addition to several radio stations, television channels such as Times Now, the film magazine Filmfare, and the women's magazine Femina. The Sahu Jain family continues to own a majority of the stake in the group, and in May 2023 the Times Group was split into two separate business entities between brothers Vineet Jain and Samir Jain, such that its radio and broadcast properties would remain with Vineet Jain and its print properties would be under Samir Jain.[6]
