From baby steps to giant strides
The Dainik Bhaskar Group has traversed a long way since its inception in Bhopal in 1958, to establish itself from a littleknown Hindi newspaper to India's leading newspaper group. By 1995, Dainik Bhaskar had become the largest circulated newspaper in Madhya Pradesh, after which the growth continued as the group ventured out of Madhya Pradesh to launch newspapers in Rajasthan, Chandigarh, Haryana, Ahmedabad and so on. Today, the group is present in 12 states, publishing major newspapers which include Dainik Bhaskar (Hindi daily with 43 editions), Divya Bhaskar (Gujarati daily with 8 editions), Divya Marathi (Marathi daily with 6 editions), Saurashtra Samachar (Gujarati daily) and DB Star (Hindi compact daily). In addition to the print medium, the group has a flourishing digital medium and significant presence in the radio segment.
