1. Ownership Structure

GizTimes is an independent digital news organization wholly owned and operated by its founder Saurabh Gupta as part of the GizTimes Digital Venture. Based in Anuppur, India, we are a privately held organization dedicated to the intersection of technology and social research.​

  • Legal Entity: GizTimes Digital Venture

2. Funding Model

To maintain our commitment to providing free, high-quality technical journalism and analysis, GizTimes utilizes the following revenue streams:​

A. Digital Advertising (Programmatic)
The majority of our revenue is generated through digital display advertising. We partner with third-party networks, such as Google AdSense, to display relevant ads.​

  • Editorial Firewall: Advertisers have no influence over our content. Ads are served automatically based on user behavior and demographics.​

GizTimes may participate in various affiliate marketing programs. If you purchase a product through one of our review links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.​

On rare occasions, we may publish content funded by a partner brand.​

  • Clear Labeling: Any sponsored article is prominently marked as “Sponsored,” “Partner Content,” or “Paid Advertisement”.​

  • Separation: Our core news reporters do not author sponsored material; such content is managed by a distinct marketing arm.​

3. Editorial Independence

Our funding sources never dictate our coverage. We adhere to a “Truth First” mandate, ensuring that our technical analysis is free from corporate bias.​

  • No Pay-for-Play: We do not accept payment from manufacturers or developers in exchange for favorable news coverage.​
