Profile
Media conglomerate Bennett, Coleman & Co, which the matriarch chairs, has teamed up with Huffington Post to launch the Indian edition of the website later this year. It already has an online presence with digital unit Times Internet, which claims to have more than 100 million monthly visitors. Other digital assets include property portal magicbricks.com and simplymarry.com, a matrimonial site. But the group is still best known for old media: Daily newspaper The Times of India, the world's largest by circulation, and The Economic Times, the world's biggest financial newspaper after the Wall Street Journal. Sons Samir and Vineet run the $1 billion (revenues) group, which also owns popular television news channel Times Now.
