MUMBAI, JULY 2026 – Reliance Broadcast Network Limited (RBNL) today announced its evolution into a progressive, converged media and entertainment powerhouse with the official launch of ONE BIG WORLD. Built on the iconic BIG FM legacy, ONE BIG WORLD marks a strategic shift from standalone verticals to a fully integrated ecosystem designed to accompany consumers across every physical and digital touchpoint of their daily lives. ONE BIG WORLD will operate from a sprawling 60,000 sq. ft. upcoming facility in Noida.
ONE BIG WORLD reaches more than 500 million monthly users through 67 BIG FM radio stations, BIG News Network, 100 million+ lifetime BIG LIVE users, 20 million+ social media reach, and 5,000+ transit BIG DOOH screens across 75+ cities. The launch also signals a major expansion into hyperlocal, vernacular digital, and experiential sectors with the introduction of BIG FM One, BIG Experiences, and BIG Vibe.
At its core, ONE BIG WORLD is more than a platform — it is a philosophy. By eliminating silos between content, distribution, audiences, and brand experiences, RBNL is building an unprecedented multi-platform network optimized for deep consumer engagement, community building, commerce, and measurable outcomes for advertisers.
Commenting on the launch, Sahil Mangla, Chairman, RBNL, said: "For nearly two decades, BIG FM has built deep-rooted trust, hyperlocal relevance, and an unmatched emotional connection with Indian audiences. ONE BIG WORLD is our strategic response to the evolving, non-linear consumer journey. It transforms Reliance Broadcast from a radio broadcaster into an indispensable daily companion — seamlessly integrating radio, news, digital, DOOH, and live experiences into one cohesive, AI-powered ecosystem. Backed by marquee investors and leading business groups, this marks a bold new chapter in building India’s most progressive, connected, and trust-backed media powerhouse."
Ashit Kukian, CEO, RBNL, added: "With ONE BIG WORLD, we are unlocking a new dimension of value for consumers and advertising partners. Brands no longer need to piece together fragmented campaigns. We offer robust, 360-degree, in-house solutions — from content creation to multi-channel distribution and on-ground activations across Radio, News, Digital, DOOH, and experiential platforms. This unified approach delivers deeper engagement, greater scale, and measurable business outcomes with real ROI."
