Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent words through a note at the Times Now Summit 2026, tipping his hat to the Times Network over their fresh logo. Standing next to Vineet Jain, who runs the Times Group, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw pulled back the curtain on the redesign – an event that quietly underlined how far the channel has come. This moment settled something: it belongs among India’s top news voices now.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the work of the media and appreciated “the central role the media plays in building public awareness and fostering active participation in issues of social and national importance.” He reiterated, “As the nation moves forward on its path to becoming a ‘Viksit Bharat’ (Developed India), the contribution of the media will prove crucial in strengthening our unity and sense of purpose.”
“In this journey, platforms like the Times Group play a pivotal role – keeping citizens informed, shaping opinions, strengthening dialogue, and amplifying India’s voice on the global stage. The Times Network’s new identity is a future-oriented step that reflects progress.”
20 years ago, the Times Network began telling India’s story, one moment at a time. As events unfolded, it gave space to those who spoke up, helping steer how people thought and talked. Where once symbols leaned on legacy, now clean lines point ahead – motion, speed, fresh currents of news. Change did not come overnight; instead, shape followed purpose, matching pace with a country always moving forward. The mark today reflects that shift – not static, but alive, like the audience it walks beside. Relevance isn’t claimed, it’s earned – one honest signal at a time.
Waves of meaning ripple through the fresh design, introduced by Ashwini Vaishnaw, who holds rail, info, and tech portfolios. His message arrived gently: “This strong visual echoes where we are now.” Shape meets idea in a round form, home to India’s clear outline – one that carries weight, not just shape. Inside it, space breathes differently, hinting at links formed far and wide, alive much like those abroad carrying roots with pride. At the middle rests this land – not still, moving fast, building something solid ahead of 2047. Light spreads outward, quiet yet firm, from a place believing change can happen.
Describing the logo as far more than a mere design update, Vineet Jain stated, “This is not merely a visual transformation, but a declaration of our purpose. It represents a network unconstrained by geographical boundaries, drawing its energy instead from mutual interconnectedness. This new logo reflects the expansive vision of a network that serves as a bridge – connecting India with the world, and equally, the world with India.”
Speaking on the network’s future role, Jain added, “This will be a network that presents the story of our great nation – its aspirations and its potential – to the world, and whose voice resonates on a global stage. It will be a platform where dialogue transcends borders, and where the exchange of ideas between India and the world remains not a one-way flow, but a continuous, meaningful, and vibrant interaction.”
A fresh look now represents the brand, appearing just as Times Network pushes further into broadcast and online spaces. As it grows across India and beyond, its footprint spreads wide. Across more than a hundred nations, voices find space here. Conversations take shape – rooted in real concerns, shaped by everyday lives.
