With you through it all: Six years of TBS Online
Currently at 87 million views with 22 million readers, we reflect on the journey behind us and renew our commitment to the future ahead
As we step into a new era, we take a moment to pause and reflect — to smell the roses that have bloomed along our journey.
Above all, we owe our deepest gratitude to you, our readers, for standing by us through every turn.
Six years ago, we joined this fast-moving bandwagon with a clear vision and hope in our hearts: to deliver the pulse of the world, the stories that truly matter, straight to your screens.

We chose the online platform as our bridge to stay connected with you — instantly, constantly, and meaningfully.
Little did we know then just how vital this medium would become.
When the Covid-19 pandemic struck and the world retreated indoors, screens became lifelines.
Locked-down cities may have silenced office corridors, but the digital window remained open, keeping us connected, informed, and together.
On this special day, I would like to extend, on behalf of our entire network and company, our heartfelt thanks to you, our readers, for trusting us as your partner in news.
Over these six years, we have walked through history together.
We endured the pandemic, navigated its aftermath, and witnessed moments that shook the world: the Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Gaza crisis, and here at home, the student-led mass uprising that reshaped our nation just last year.
Through it all, you stood with us, and we stood with you.
Our mission has always been clear: to bring the news that matters most, with accuracy, depth, and courage.
Behind every story, there is a team working tirelessly, often at personal cost, to ensure you receive information in its most authentic and powerful form.
At the heart of The Business Standard is its bustling newsroom. A space driven by the energy of young professionals and the wisdom of seasoned journalists.
Together, our reporters, sub-editors, photographers, and newsroom leaders at home and abroad work tirelessly to manage the minute-by-minute flow of news.
Supporting them is a dedicated social media team, bringing you the pulse of events in real time, presented in the most engaging and creative ways.
Alongside, our multimedia producers, newscasters, and scriptwriters craft powerful mini-documentaries — stories etched into history through moving images and sound.
We have also tailored content to meet the evolving needs of our readers. From bite-sized updates in TBS Bites to youth-focused storytelling in TBS Graduates, our platforms are designed to serve a diverse and growing audience.
And we do so with innovation at the core — through our signature infographics, videos, news cards, and evolving digital formats.
Every story is built not only to be read, but to be experienced.
Because for us, staying true to our mission means ensuring our updates reach you in every shape and form, never missing a beat.
This bond of trust between our newsroom and our readers is what keeps us moving forward, stronger every day.
That trust is also reflected in the numbers. According to Google Analytics, between August 2024 and August 2025, The Business Standard recorded an astounding 87 million page views.
August 2024 alone saw a record 13 million visits — driven by our in-depth coverage of the July Uprising.
Over the year, more than 22 million active users engaged with our stories, a testament to the growing bond we share with our readers and the confidence you continue to place in us.
As we celebrate six years of TBS Online, we look back with gratitude and ahead with resolve.
Along the way, we have made our share of unintentional mistakes. But each has been a lesson, shaping us to do better, aim higher, and serve you with greater responsibility.
With your trust as our greatest strength, we remain committed to bringing you the news that matters, faster, truer, and closer than ever before.
