Partner Quint Digital Restricted Inks Franchise Deal with Time Out Group for Launch of Time Out India Brand
India to See the Debut of Time Out India Through Quint Digital Limited
Quint Digital Limited (QDL), a leading media-tech company based in India, has entered into a franchise agreement with Time Out, the renowned global brand known for inspiring city exploration, to launch Time Out India. This multi-channel collaboration will offer both Time Out Media and the chance to introduce Time Out Market to the Indian market.
QDL will inaugurate Time Out India later this year with a digital destination, timeout.com/india, accompanied by social media and video platforms. According to the partnership, local expert journalists will curate editorial content for the site, highlighting the best experiences, attractions, and dining options across India's top cities and travel hotspots. Aiming to become the ultimate guide for locals and foreign travelers alike, Time Out India will offer recommendations in food, arts, culture, films, entertainment, and events.
Besides media, the agreement includes an exclusive opportunity for QDL to explore the possibility of launching Time Out Markets in India. These venues bring together a city's top culinary and cultural offerings under one roof, showcasing the best of the city through a mix of authentic cuisine, unique experiences, and dynamic advertising opportunities. With eleven locations already operational in cities such as New York, Chicago, and Dubai, QDL is looking to replicate this concept in India.
"The Indian audience and visitors crave something fresh and adventurous when it comes to lifestyle and food, and with Time Out, we are thrilled to pioneer a revolutionary experience in the country," said Ritu Kapur, Managing Director and CEO of QDL. "This collaboration pairs QDL's understanding of India's digitally-savvy youth and foreign visitors with Time Out's skill for illuminating the best aspects of urban culture, food, and city life."
Raghav Bahl, Director and Promoter of QDL, added, "Through this partnership, we will inspire exploration, spotlight the best of our cities, and provide brands with new and engaging ways to connect with a discerning audience seeking exceptional experiences."
Chris Ohlund, CEO of Time Out Group plc, expressed delight over the partnership, stating that India, with its rapidly evolving food scene and growing popularity as a travel destination, offers an incredible opportunity for Time Out's unique blend of curated content and experiences. With QDL's expert team, Time Out India will become the definitive go-to place for the best of urban culture across key Indian cities.
The collaboration of Time Out and QDL represents a powerful blend of global expertise in curating city life and leadership in digital content, digital publishing technology, and AI-driven social media analytics. Following initial successes in media and tech, QDL is now venturing into lifestyle, expanding its presence to include India's rapidly growing retail-cum-lifestyle commerce segment. Together, the two brands aim to build a vibrant, city-focused ecosystem in India—both digitally and in real life.
