Forbes India is the Indian edition ofForbes, managed byNetwork18, a media conglomerate owned byReliance Industries.
Since its founding in 2008,Forbes India has achieved a circulation of 50,000 copies and makes over Rs 50 crore in topline.[4] The magazine is published fortnightly.[5]
In May 2013, the Network 18 ownedFirst Post was merged withForbes India. Shortly thereafter, the four top editorial heads who had led the growth ofForbes India, including its editor-in-chief Indrajit Gupta, were dismissed under surprisingly humiliating conditions.[6] The event led to considerable media speculation.[7] Press Club, Mumbai, passed a resolution: “The method of ejecting them from the company was nothing short of shameful. Journalists are not only messengers of news and information, but are the collective voice of civil society."[8]
The new editorR. Jagannathan (erstwhile editor ofFirst Post) took overForbes India. He toldThe Caravan magazine that "Forbes ... is not meant to be an NGO. It is not meant to be anti-capitalism."[9] The move might be a part of a shift within the journal towards right-wing politics,[9] following a large infusion of cash fromMukesh Ambani-ownedReliance Industries Limited in the Network 18 conglomerate.[9][10]
