Network18 has just announced the launch of a business digital site, Firstbiz.

The new site, a business offering from Indian news organisation Firstpost, will focus on making every reader a business reader, ensuring all sizes and shapes of businesses are included and finally the re-launch of Biztech2.

Firstbiz will join a high profile family, with Network18 already owning TV channel CNN- IBN, as well as publishing Forbes India.

Editor-in-chief, R Jagannathan adds: “With Firstbiz, which is targeted not just at business and entrepreneurs, but all economic agents driven by aspiration, the need for a quick turnaround on news and views is even more vital. Digital media is best-placed to serve this growing community of participants in the India growth story with its unique take on developments. We will be there wherever you are: first on your desktop or laptop, and soon enough on your iPad, your Android smartphone, or whatever device you use to get to information.”
