“Sakal Times” will be launched on May 7
The English daily from the Sakal group, “Sakal Times”, will be launched on May 7. The first edition of the newspaper “Sakal Times” will be launched in Pune, the hometown of the Sakal group.
To be sure, it is not the first time that the newspaper group is dabbling in English. It runs two English papers — “The Maharashtra Herald” in Pune & “Gomantak Times” in Goa.
Abhijit Pawar, the 36-year-old managing director of the company & nephew of Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar, refused to share the details of his business plans but said that the group “will do whatever needs to be done to make Sakal Times a national English newspaper brand”.
Sakal Times executives claim that the actual number is much less in the city of Pune. Pawar said in his statement, “We assure you that our print run will be as much as, if not more, that of the market leader”.
