Ad Age joins the growing TLP portfolio, which has already rolled out the Indian editions of Askmen, Gizmodo, Lifehacker, Techradar, Remodelista, ReadWrite, Business Insider & IGN.

     

    Talking about the partnership, Puneet Singhvi, Business Head, Times Local Partners, said, “We are very excited about bringing Ad Age to India.
