About BiG
Business Insight Group (BiG) is the Pan India Authorised Licensee of The Business Influencer, Nachural Group — UK. The Business Influencer was founded by Ninder Johal DL of Nachural Group UK. BiG publishes the India Edition and gives Indian business leaders a structured way to contribute to it.
The India Edition is led by Rajendra Patel, Founder of BiG and Managing Director — India Edition. You can read why BiG exists in the message from the Managing Director.
Alongside the publication, BiG runs the BIG · TBI Podcast, the free TBI Collective PAN India Community and the application-based BIG Leadership Network.
The India Edition is written for, and contributed to by, people who run or shape businesses:
Contributors with a UK-India connection — an active UK presence, a UK education or professional background, or UK expansion plans — can use the India-UK Corridor Feature. A UK connection is not required for the other formats.
A social post is usually seen for a few seconds and then disappears down the feed. An edited, published piece lasts longer and is easier to refer back to:
Editorial Formats
These are the formats currently listed on the BiG platform. Investment figures are the published rates and exclude applicable taxes. Where no figure is shown, details are shared after the editorial fit conversation.
A 200-word profile in the founding India-UK quarterly Top 25 Leaders list. The simplest way to get a first editorial presence, and it can sit alongside any full format.
A full article under your byline, published in the TBI India Edition, in print, in digital and in the archive.
A 2,000-word profile of you and your business, written by a journalist and given featured placement.
Your own named column, with one piece per quarter for a full year (four issues). This is BiG's most complete positioning programme.
A feature published at the same time in the India and UK editions, for leaders who work across the UK-India business corridor.
The front cover and the cover story of the TBI India Edition — for a person or brand that wants the most prominent position in the issue.
BiG also offers a First-Person Founder Essay (800–1,200 words, in your own voice, edited by the team) and an Opinion Column (600–900 words on your industry, with LinkedIn graphics). Print and digital advertising are listed in the formats section on the homepage.
The publication and the BIG · TBI Podcast are designed to support each other. The Thought Leadership Series includes a podcast episode, and Founder Profiles are considered for the podcast. Leaders can also apply directly to be a Featured Guest. A published piece gives your ideas a written record; a podcast conversation lets people hear you explain them.
The figures below are published for The Business Influencer by Nachural, the group behind the title, and are shown on the BiG homepage. Which channels apply depends on the format and the edition.
These figures also appear on the BiG homepage. BiG does not guarantee reach, readership or any business outcome for an individual piece.
BiG applies the editorial standards of The Business Influencer UK. They are set out in the BIG Leadership Network writer guidelines:
Transparency: The formats above are paid editorial and media programmes. Payment does not guarantee acceptance or publication, and it doesn't make a piece an independent editorial endorsement.

| Telling your founder journey | Founder Profile | Written by a journalist from your story |
| Being visible for a whole year | Thought Leadership Series | A quarterly named column plus a podcast episode |
| Reaching UK and Indian business audiences | India-UK Corridor Feature | Published in both editions |
