HISTORY OF THE ORGANISATION

The Times of India came into being on November 3, 1838 and was known as "The Bombay Times and Journal of Commerce". Initially the paper served only the British residents of western India. Published twice a week on every Saturday and Wednesday, The Bombay Times and Journal of Commerce contained news from Europe, America and the sub- continent and was circulated between India and Europe via regular steamships. From the year 1850 the daily editions of the paper were started and the newspaper got its present name in 1861. In the 19th century, the company employed over 800 people and had a good circulation in India and Europe. The Times of India was originally British-owned and controlled. Ivor S. Jehu was its last British editor, who left the editorship in 1950. After India's Independence in 1947, the ownership of the paper was passed on to the industrial family of Dalmiyas and later it was over by Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain of the Sahu Jain group from Bijnore of Uttar Pradesh.
