Quint Digital Limited has officially launched Time Out India on April 23, 2026, marking a significant expansion into the lifestyle and entertainment sector. The launch brings the globally recognized Time Out brand to one of the world's most dynamic cultural markets, following a franchise agreement announced in May 2025.

Platform Launch and Market Entry

Time Out India debuts with dedicated platforms for Delhi and Mumbai, delivering trusted recommendations across food and drink, arts and culture, film, entertainment and events. The content is written and curated by local expert journalists, connecting both residents and visitors with premium experiences across India's leading cities.

The platform becomes part of Time Out's extensive global network spanning more than 350 cities in over 50 countries. It combines authoritative editorial curation with multi-channel presence across digital, social and video platforms, creating a destination for audiences seeking city discovery and brands looking to connect with engaged communities.

First Time Out Market in India

As part of the broader partnership between Quint Digital Limited and Time Out Group plc, the company will bring India's first Time Out Market to New Delhi. The flagship location will open at Worldmark Aerocity in the second half of 2026.

The venue will showcase Delhi's most exciting chefs, restaurateurs, and cultural talent under one roof, following the globally successful Time Out Market model that combines editorial curation with real-life experiences. Located adjacent to Indira Gandhi International Airport, the Market is strategically positioned to welcome both international travelers and Delhi's urban community.

Leadership Perspectives

Chris Ohlund, CEO of Time Out Group, emphasized the significance of entering the Indian market: "We're delighted to launch Time Out in India and announce the first Time Out Market in New Delhi, marking an important milestone in our partnership with Quint Digital. India's vibrant cities, rich food culture and digitally engaged audience make it a natural home for the Time Out brand."

Ritu Kapur, Managing Director and CEO of Quint Digital Limited, highlighted the strategic importance: "The launch of Time Out India, with Time Out Delhi and Mumbai as dedicated recommendation hubs, is incredibly exciting.

Strategic Expansion Plans

The partnership continues the strategy announced in 2025, under which Quint Digital Limited holds options to explore additional Time Out Market opportunities across India. This expansion will grow the brand's unique digital and real-life ecosystem into key cities across the country.
