Time Out India debuts with platforms for Delhi and Mumbai, delivering first-hand recommendations across food and drink, arts and culture, film, entertainment and events. Written and curated by local expert journalists, Time Out India connects residents and visitors alike with the very best experiences across India’s leading cities, says Time Out.

Part of Time Out’s global network spanning more than 350 cities in over 50 countries, the platform combines editorial curation with a multi-channel presence across digital, social and video – creating a destination for audiences seeking city discovery and for brands looking to connect with an engaged, experience-led community, Time Out continued.

As part of the broader partnership between QDL and Time Out Group plc, QDL will also bring the first Time Out Market to India, with a flagship location opening at Worldmark Aerocity, New Delhi, in the second half of 2026.

Spread across approximately 24,500 sq ft, Time Out says Time Out Market Delhi will bring together 11 curated kitchens and two full-service bars alongside a live performance stage and private events space, offering seating for around 500 guests. True to the Time Out Market model, the venue will showcase some of the city’s most exciting chefs, restaurateurs, and cultural talent under one roof – combining editorial curation with real-life experiences.

Located adjacent to Indira Gandhi International Airport, the Market is positioned to welcome both international travellers and Delhi’s vibrant urban community, becoming a landmark destination celebrating the very best of the capital’s food and culture.

Chris Ohlund, CEO of Time Out Group, added: “We’re delighted to launch Time Out in India and announce the first Time Out Market in New Delhi, marking an important milestone in our partnership with Quint Digital. India’s vibrant cities, rich food culture and digitally engaged audience make it a natural home for the Time Out brand.

“Together with The Quint, we look forward to bringing the Time Out Market concept to Delhi – showcasing the city’s best culinary and cultural talent and further expanding our unique Media and Market model in leading cities around the world.”

Ritu Kapur, managing director and CEO of QDL, said: “The launch of Time Out India, with Time Out Delhi and Mumbai as dedicated recommendation hubs, is incredibly exciting. Delhi is also the perfect launchpad for the Time Out Market concept, which has been tested and perfected globally. We’re thrilled to bring it to India and put our own innovative twist on it.”

This partnership continues the strategy announced in 2025, added Time Out, under which QDL holds the option to explore additional Time Out Market opportunities across India, expanding the brand’s digital and real-life ecosystem into key cities across the country.
