In the heart of Uttar Pradesh, where the echoes of Nawabi grandeur blend seamlessly with the hum of modern ambition, a fresh voice is set to emerge in the world of infotainment. Indie Times Coverage, a vibrant tabloid dedicated to the untold stories of Lucknow got launched on the 1st of February 2026. As a vertical of CB Square Media House LLP, this publication promises to redefine local journalism by focusing on the city’s cultural heartbeat, generational legacies, glittering social scenes, and the transformative initiatives driving the state’s progress under Chief Minister Shri Yogi Adityanath.
Founded by visionary partners Charanpreet Singh Bagga and Charan DS Bedi, Indie Times Coverage isn’t just another newspaper—it’s a celebration of Lucknow’s essence. “We’re not chasing hard news or sensational headlines,” says Bagga, a multifaceted entrepreneur, advocate, philanthropist, and host of the popular Indie Talk Show. “Our mission is to spotlight the stories that make Lucknow truly special—the hidden gems, the enduring traditions, and the positive strides that are shaping our future.” With its roots in digital content and now expanding to print, the tabloid aims to bridge the gap between the city’s rich heritage and its dynamic present, offering readers a feel-good escape from the daily grind.
The Visionaries Behind the Venture: CB Square Media House LLP
CB Square Media House LLP was incorporated in late 2024 as a platform for innovative storytelling in Uttar Pradesh.  Led by Charanpreet Singh Bagga and Charan DS Bedi, the firm draws on the duo’s diverse expertise to create content that resonates locally while aspiring to broader appeal. Bagga, who chairs Khalsa Inter College and founded Indie Times as a digital news outlet focused on “news that matters,” brings a blend of legal acumen, entrepreneurial spirit, and media savvy to the table.  His Indie Talk Show has already garnered a following for its engaging discussions on entrepreneurship, leadership, and cultural topics, often featuring guests like Advocate Charan DS Bedi himself. 
Bedi, a respected advocate and close collaborator, complements Bagga’s vision with his insights into legal and social issues. Together, they’ve positioned CB Square as a hub for positive, community-driven media. “Lucknow deserves a publication that honors its legacy while embracing its evolution,” Bedi notes. The partners’ synergy is evident in their commitment to ethical journalism, drawing from Bagga’s philanthropic work and Bedi’s advocacy background. As seen in Bagga’s active X profile (@charan_bagga), where he addresses community concerns like illegal constructions and service complaints, the duo is deeply invested in Lucknow’s welfare.
With the print launch, Indie Times Coverage will distribute across Lucknow’s bustling markets, residential areas, and key institutions, aiming for a circulation that captures the city’s 3 million-plus residents. Priced affordably and designed with eye-catching visuals, it will feature glossy pages filled with exclusive interviews, photo spreads, and in-depth features—perfect for coffee tables and morning commutes.
