BQ Prime, formerly BloombergQuint,[3] was an Indian business and financial news organization founded as a joint venture of Bloomberg News and Quintillion Media.[4][5] It was acquired by Adani Media Ventures Pvt. Ltd. In 2022 and was merged with NDTV Profit of NDTV which is part of Adani Group in December 2023.[1] Its main content was based on the Indian economy, international finance, corporate law and governance and business news. Within six months of going live, the web portal had one million monthly users, and there were plans to open a free-to-air TV channel.[6][7] In July 2017, digital video analytics provider Vidooly rated BloombergQuint as the ninth most popular news brand among what it termed new-age news publishers.[8] In September 2017, BloombergQuint launched a digital live streaming service available on its website (www.bloombergquint.com), the Bloomberg Terminal and BloombergQuint social platforms.[9][10][11] The service includes daily live programming from both global and local markets. It launched a WhatsApp service in November 2017.[12][13][14][15] It also announced a partnership with Nasscom, T-Hub and the government of Karnataka to launch 'ScaleUP', an initiative designed to help emerging companies and start-ups scale for growth in November 2017.[16]
