The Financial Times has launched a new newsletter, India Business Briefing, offering twice-weekly insight on the country's most important business stories. Launching today, it will cater to the FT’s growing audience in India and those tracking its dynamic economy around the world.  

The India Business Briefing will offer commentary on the top business news story of the day, alongside explainers to help readers navigate the world’s most populous country and its fast growing economy. The newsletter will include interactive features, polls and quizzes on the news agenda, and insights from leading business figures.

The Briefing will be written by Veena Venugopal, who joined the FT in November to lead the new newsletter. Venugopal is a published author, previously an editor at The Hindu and most recently senior editor at Apple. 

“I am excited to bring the FT’s expert analysis and high quality journalism through the India Business Briefing to our domestic audience in India. The newsletter will curate essential business reading and help readers understand and contextualise important developments in the country and around the world,” Venugopal said.

Asia editor, Robin Harding said: “India is the fastest-growing large economy in the world. We want to bring the best of the FT to India and share the success of Indian business with our readers around the globe. I am excited to see how Veena will do so through the newsletter.”

India Business Briefing will be sent out twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays. The first two issues will be free to read online, then it will be available for premium subscribers. The FT has expanded its presence in India, investing in its editorial team and gaining new audiences through FT Professional, the FT’s B2B product.
