Chronicle of excellence in journalism

BMI Group consists of two companies – BMI Publications Private Limited and BuzzInContent Publications Private Limited.

BMI Group had a humble beginning in 2010 with a single business-to-business (B2B) news platform for advertising, marketing and media sector – BestMediaInfo.com.

In a few years, BestMediaInfo.com changed the way B2B news reporting was done in India.

Launched by veteran journalist Niraj Sharma, the platform soon became the synonym for breaking news in the B2B media.

  • Foundational excellence
  • Innovative platforms
  • Editorial integrity
  • Community impact

The passion for the growth of the Indian media and entertainment sector made BMI do the journalism of impact to bring positive changes in the industry.

A big believer in a responsible news industry, Niraj Sharma, a former television journalist, has relentlessly written against deteriorating content quality on television news.

In 2020, when the Indian television news channels were hounding Rhea Chakraborty over the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, BestMediaInfo.com launched an editorial initiative where many advertisers came on record to say that they would not advertise on the channels with toxic content.

Against this backdrop, BMI Group entered the general news space with NewsDrum.in, a mobile-first news platform keeping objectivity at its core.

Sharma believes in journalism of impact. In his words, journalists are known for breaking stories.

Following these beliefs, NewsDrum.in made its first impact within the first month of its launch when the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, following NewsDrum stories, issued an advisory to the news channels asking them to refrain from trivialising and hyperbol on Russia-Ukraine war.

In less than two years of its launch, NewsDrum’s experienced team of journalists have broken over three dozen stories in such a cluttered media space.

In 2022 alone, BestMediaInfo.com stories brought six policy-level changes, a feat that all mainline media put together could not achieve in a decade.
