Imedge Media was founded in 2012. Journalists Navneet Deshpande, and Deendayal Vaidya had always been avid trekkers willing to explore unfamiliar terrains. They gave up their comfortable jobs and embarked on a journey full of challenges.
They had neither any past precedent to guide them nor did they have any resources to achieve their objective. The only thing they had was this grand idea.

Navneeet has worked with Sakal, a frontrunner newspaper in Pune and Maharashtra, for 21 years. He was executive editor of Sakal's Pune edition when he decided to part ways to launch Imedge.
At Sakal, Navneet's involvement in all the initiatives launched by the newspaper had been noteworthy. He led the newspaper's team during the launch of its SMS service for the readers, during the massive redesigning exercise undertaken by the newspaper, and during Sakal's annual content planning projects.
Navneet has played a pivotal role in Imedge Media providing special purpose concepts to suit client specific topical requirements. His penchant for identifying dots to create a visual story has also contributed immensely towards our photo-books.
Navneet looks forward to developing concepts and executing them. Creating communicative content and marrying text and visuals is his way of relaxing.

While at Sakal, Deendayal conceptualized and edited "Muktapeeth", a citizen journalism supplement. This was the first of its kind supplement introduced by any Indian newspaper.
