“In 100 years, I am the third generation of my family to be in charge of the work in progress that is Hindustan Times. I say work in progress because it is just that — just like India is a country on the move, a civilisation seeking to live up to its storied past as it strives to make its place in the world,” Shobhana Bhartia, chairperson and editorial director of HT Media and granddaughter of Ghanshyam Das Birla. writes in an article.
Praveen Someshwar, CEO of HT Media, said, “As we mark this extraordinary centennial, we are profoundly grateful for the enduring trust of our readers and partners. They are the lifeblood of our century-long journey, relying on Hindustan Times to deliver not just news, but insight, context and inspiration. It is their unwavering faith that has empowered us to stand resolute as the Voice of the Nation, guiding public discourse, informing citizens, and shaping the contours of our collective future.”
