Through its venture capital arm TVentures, Times Internet has invested in over 50 start-ups in the technology space such as logistics provider Delhivery, bus aggregating platform Shuttl, ed-tech platform Byju's, and gaming platform MPL, among others. In 2024, Times Internet sold MX Player to Amazon for around $100 million and ET Money to 360 One WAM for ₹366 crore in stock swap and cash. The company operates a diversified portfolio of digital brands spanning news, fintech, entertainment, and lifestyle segments.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Times Internet maintains a strong digital presence as the venture arm of India's largest media conglomerate with ₹1,400Cr annual revenue (FY 2024-25). However, recent divestitures (MX Player to Amazon, ET Money) and strategic portfolio pruning suggest selective focus rather than aggressive expansion. The company demonstrates solid operational foundation but faces execution challenges in scaling standalone digital ventures.
