The BBC’s news operation in India has formally split in two, as the UK broadcast organization seeks to comply with local media rules.
Four former BBC staff have launched Collective Newsroom as an independent Indian-owned media company. It will supply news to the BBC’s Indian operation, which has been targeted by officials several times in recent years.
Led by Rupa Jha as CEO, Collective Newsroom will create and publish journalism for BBC News in six Indian languages: Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu, as well as in English for the BBC News India YouTube channel, and produce other English content.
In December last year, BBC announced a restructure to its India operations to comply with the country’s investment rules. Publishing from India, Collective Newsroom will also be staffed by Mukesh Sharma, Sanjoy Majumder and Sara Hasan, who all bring extensive editorial and programming-making experience.

The BBC’s news operations in India have been effectively divided from Wednesday with the launch of Collective Newsroom.
Collective Newsroom was formed in December 2023 in order to comply with India’s strict foreign direct investment (Fdi) in media rules. The Indian government’s cap on Fdi in digital news outfits is 26%. BBC World Service India is 99% owned by the BBC, a British public service broadcaster.
BBC India staffers Rupa Jha, Mukesh Sharma, Sanjoy Majumder and Sara Hassan quit the corporation to form the new Indian-owned media company, serving as directors, with Jha as the CEO. The BBC will be the first client of Collective Newsroom, which is also available to create content for other news providers across India and globally. The BBC has applied for a 26% stake in Collective Newsroom.
