History

In May 2013, the news group was merged with the Indian edition of Forbes whose four top editorial heads including editor in chief Indrajit Gupta were dismissed. The event led to a media furore.
As of April 2020, Jaideep Giridhar is the Executive Editor of Firstpost in Mumbai, while Sanjay Singh is the Deputy Executive Editor.
