QDML rebrands itself as Quint Digital

Reflecting a consolidated growth of 15%+ over Q1 FY23, Quint Digital Media reported consolidated revenues of INR 21.82 crores for Q1 FY24.

Quint Digital Media Limited (QDML) rebranded itself as a pure-play digital company — to be renamed Quint Digital Limited, in order to resonate better with the vision, strategy, and digital focus of the Group.

The Group entered into a binding MoU with AMG Media to divest the remaining 51% stake in Quintillion Business Media Limited. The transaction with AMG Media is restricted only to Quintillion Business Media Limited and does not involve any transaction with QDML, that is, there is no investment in The Quint or Quintype (owned by QDML) by AMG Media.

During Q1 FY24, The Quint reported standalone revenues of INR 13.20 crores, marking an impressive growth of 23% from Q1 FY23's INR 10.72 crores. Quintype continued its upward trajectory with a remarkable 48% growth in revenues, reaching INR 6.45 crores in Q1 FY24 compared to INR 4.73 crores in Q1 FY23.
