Indian Express

The Indian Express is the flagship brand of the group and is widely regarded as one of India’s most influential English-language daily newspapers. It is famous for its tagline, “Journalism of Courage,” which reflects its long history of investigative reporting and its role as a watchdog of Indian democracy. The platform caters to a highly literate and influential audience, including policymakers, bureaucrats, corporate leaders, and academics. Unlike many of its competitors, the publication prioritizes hard-hitting investigations and long-form analysis over sensationalist headlines.

The editorial focus of The Indian Express is centered on “The Explained” section—a pioneering digital and print feature that simplifies complex geopolitical, legal, and scientific issues for the common reader. Its opinion pages feature some of the most respected voices in Indian society, offering diverse viewpoints on national and international affairs. In recent years, the digital edition has seen exponential growth, integrating multimedia storytelling, data journalism, and real-time updates through its mobile application.

Within the publisher’s network, The Indian Express serves as the primary source for national political and social news. It operates out of multiple centers across India, including New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata. Its digital presence is massive, often ranking among the top news websites in India by traffic. The publication is also the brain behind the “Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards,” which remains the most prestigious recognition for journalists in India.
