• Gaana, the Indian podcast and music app, was acquired by ENIL, the owner of Radio Mirchi, it’s emerged. It was majority owned by Times Internet, the digital arm of The Times of India; ENIL is also a subsidiary of Times of India, which possibly explains a low sale price of Rs 25 lakh - just $29,800 - as well as the fact that Times Group is currently splitting in two. It’s said to be a distress sale, since Gaana is loss-making, and needs regular cash injections: ENIL gave Gaana Rs 15 crore ($1.79mn) in Q1/24, and Gaana is currently being run by ENIL’s CEO, Yatish Mehrishi. Tencent was another shareholder; it’s unclear whether they still are.
