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.[3][4] The event led to a media furore.[5]
As of April 2020, Jaideep Giridhar is the Executive Editor of Firstpost in Mumbai, while Sanjay Singh is the Deputy Executive Editor.[6]
