Republic TV, an Indian English-language news channel, is predominantly owned and controlled by journalist Arnab Goswami. He holds over 82% of ARG Outlier Media Pvt Ltd, the company that owns and operates Republic TV. Additionally, his company owns 99% equity in the digital entity managing the network’s online assets.

Initially, Republic TV was co-founded by Arnab Goswami and Rajeev Chandrasekhar. However, in May 2019, Chandrasekhar exited the venture, selling his stake to Goswami, thereby making Republic Media Network a journalist-owned and editor-controlled company.

The ownership structure is as follows:

• ARG Outlier Media Pvt Ltd: Holds and operates Republic TV.
• SARG Media Holding Pvt Ltd: Parent company of ARG Outlier Media.
  • Arnab Goswami: Holds 70% stake.
  • Samyabrata Goswami (Arnab’s wife): Holds 23% stake.
  • Ajay Rameshchandra Garg: Holds 7% stake.

This structure underscores Arnab Goswami’s significant control over Republic TV, making him one of the largest individual shareholders in the Indian news media landscape
