Founded in 2007 by founding editor Raju Narisetti and the publishing company HT Media, Mint came into being to offer a fresh approach to the conventional business news scene in India. The idea sparked when the founders decided to create a platform that would cover financial issues and corporate events in a modern, easy-to-digest way they felt was lacking in traditional media, specifically aiming to serve the country's rapidly growing population of young business professionals. Today, the publication and its digital site continue to operate under the ownership and management of HT Media Ltd. Today, Mint is run by a dedicated team of journalists and is mainly focused on business and financial news. They're based in New Delhi, India, and have made a name for themselves among readers looking for comprehensive updates on the stock market, the economy, national politics, corporate developments, and lifestyle and entertainment topics through their weekend features. One interesting fact: A unique fact about Mint is the deliberate physical design of its original print edition. To appeal to busy young professionals, the founders specifically printed the newspaper in a compact "Berliner" size—making it noticeably smaller than a giant traditional newspaper so that daily commuters could easily hold and read it on crowded trains and buses on their way to the office!
