Printline Media Pvt Ltd, founded by journalist Shekhar Gupta,[3] was incorporated in New Delhi, India in September 2016.[2]

ThePrint is noted for focusing on politics and policy.[5] The venture is associated with the Off the Cuff programme that is broadcast on NDTV 24x7 and promoted on ThePrint's YouTube and Facebook channels.[6]

In May 2017, ThePrint has received an undisclosed amount of funding from Infosys co-founders N.R. Narayana Murthy and Nandan Nilekani, industrialist Ratan Tata, Biocon founder Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, the Uday Kotak Family, Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Bengaluru-based tech entrepreneur Rajiv C. Mody, chairman of LVMH Asia Ravi Thakran, and IIFL founders Nirmal Jain, R. Venkatraman, Karan Bhagat and Yatin Shah.[7][8][9]

Gupta, as his position in editor-in-chief, in a letter to readers stated the mission of the ThePrint was to be "factual and liberal".[10] ThePrint has claimed to commit to its code of ethics for journalists which it has published on its website.[11][12]
