Two publications, one parent company, twelve towns of Gujarat.

Shayona Times Private Limited was formed in 2017. It is the parent company, and the group's two publications fall under it.

NavGujarat Samay came into the group in 2017 and Ahmedabad Mirror joined in 2021 — a Gujarati daily and an English city paper, which between them reach two readerships that rarely overlap.

A construction group buying newspapers surprises people. It should not. The instinct is the same one that opened a school in 1991: go into the field, and learn how it thinks.

Two titles, twelve towns, every morning. The presses do not wait for anyone, which is a discipline a construction company recognises immediately.
