They opened up a whole new public space that has grown stronger and more vibrant over three decades.

Remembering the milestone, Sivakumar Sundaram, CEO of Bennett, Coleman & Co.Ltd., stated, "Completing 30 years of Bombay Times and Delhi Times is a moment of immense pride. These  publications have become an integral part of our readers’ lives, capturing the pulse of India’s  entertainment and lifestyle landscape.
