# Media companies and publishers headquartered in Maharashtra

Tamtam tracks 68 media companies and publishers headquartered in Maharashtra. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Reliance Industries Limited, Bennett Coleman & Co. Ltd. (The Times of India) and Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited. Their median headcount is 937. Half of them were founded in 1996 or later. The most common headquarters are Mumbai (43), Pune (4) and Navi Mumbai (2).

The media companies and publishers in Maharashtra are primarily large and mid-sized firms, with a strong concentration in Mumbai. Many of these companies are involved in diverse aspects of media and entertainment. For example, Bennett Coleman & Co. Ltd. (The Times of India) is an innovative media company, while Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited is a global content company. Network18 Media & Investments Limited is a media and entertainment group, and Disney Star is a leading media and entertainment company.

A clear pattern is the dominance of Mumbai as a headquarters city for these media and publishing firms. While some companies like Reliance Industries Limited have broader activities beyond media, the core group focuses on traditional and digital publishing, broadcasting, and entertainment production. Navneet Education Limited, for instance, is a leading educational content provider.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 11, 2026.
