Jagran New Media launches Gujaratijagran.com
Mumbai: Jagran New Media expands its digital footprint in the state of Gujarat with the launch of GujaratiJagran.com. It is said that Gujarati is the most widely spoken regional language, both nationally and internationally. The aim is to bring real-time news and information to the state of Gujarat and to the Gujarati-speaking population. Users will have access to a one-stop destination for national and local news updates, as well as exclusive content covering entertainment, markets, stocks, lifestyle, and astrology, among other things.
The inauguration ceremony was graced by Gujarat chief minister Bhupendra Bhai Patel in Ahmedabad. At the launch, Minister of social justice and empowerment Pradip Kumar and minister for labour, skills development and employment Brijesh Merja, to name a few, were present.
Jagran New Media CEO Bharat Gupta said, “It is vital to recognise the potential of regional languages, as we are proud to have accomplished this feat in the Hindi heartland. Our goal is to provide our users with trusted local, reliable, and factual information that is instantly available online. As a content-first platform, we believe in providing engaging, credible, and factual content, which is the biggest challenge in the online news ecosystem. Languages are an important part of our culture, and as a leading news and publishing platform, we are excited to launch Jagran.com in Gujarati, which will improve and enrich our audience. As we proceed, language expansion will play a vital role in our audience growth strategy and take us closer to our mission of inclusive and progressive India.”
Speaking on the announcement, Jagran.com editor-in-chief Rajesh Upadhyay said, “We take this opportunity to serve the Gujarati-speaking audience base, nationally and internationally. It will be our goal to showcase the grandeur and the essence of the state through carefully crafted news and informational pieces that are accessible to audiences all over the world. There are many parts of our country where relevant, credible, and trusted knowledge and information are missing owing to a scarcity of language content. Through this platform, we will showcase content which is especially created for Gujarati-speaking readers. With the launch of Gujarati Jagran, we bring to the Gujarati speaking audiences our unique brand of solution journalism, which differentiates Jagran from the crowd.’’
GujratiJagran.com aims to bring the Jagran Group’s journalism to the readers of Gujarat and spread across the globe. This initiative ensures access to the vast news network of Jagran, factual and investigative reports from Jagran Prime and fact-checked stories from Vishwas News. The website will cover updates from the local and different parts of the country, catering to news, politics, stock market, sports, astrology, lifestyle and health.

Swiggy sees record orders during India vs New Zealand T20 final
Chicken biryani tops match-day menu as fans order 7,500 times per minute at peak.
MUMBAI: India’s T20 final didn’t just break stumps, it broke Swiggy’s delivery records, proving cricket fans celebrate victories with plates, not just flags. Swiggy, India’s leading on-demand convenience platform, reported a sharp spike in food orders during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final between India and New Zealand. On 8 March 2026, overall orders rose 23.2 per cent year-on-year compared with the same date in 2025, driven by fans turning living rooms into mini stadiums complete with match-day feasts.
Key highlights from the evening:
- Orders during peak match hours (7–10 pm) were 2.1 times higher than pre-match levels.
- The highest order rate hit 7,500 orders per minute at 19:45.
- Chicken biryani reigned supreme as the most-ordered dish, followed by masala dosa, chicken fried rice, garlic breadsticks and paneer butter masala.
While metros such as Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad led volumes, the cricketing fever spread nationwide. Among emerging cities, Thiruvananthapuram, Surat and Rajkot recorded the strongest order growth. Smaller markets including Shillong, Agartala and Port Blair also showed significant appetite, underlining the expanding footprint of quick-commerce food delivery across India.
The surge reflects a growing trend of pairing major sporting events with doorstep delivery, turning big matches into shared, convenient celebrations. In a night where every boundary mattered, Swiggy proved the real MVP might just be the delivery partner who kept the snacks and the vibes flowing without missing a single wicket.
