Our Origins
Exhausted by the superficiality that too often passes for news, Pune Times Mirror took on the responsibility of delivering content that matters. Over the past 18 years, we’ve built a reputation for being fearless yet fair, fact-driven, and free from external influence.
The Team Behind the Tabloid
Owned and governed by the Sharma family, the publication is led by Dr. Pankaj Sharma, Chairman and Managing Director of Pune Times Mirror and Civic Mirror, our Marathi-language edition. Under his leadership, the brand has expanded both in scope and credibility.
Today, we are powered by a 50-member-strong team of editors, reporters, designers, and ad sales professionals, who collectively bring over 80 years of experience to the newsroom. We don’t just report the news—we live and breathe it.
