The company was founded by Ramnath Goenka in 1932 and is now run by his adopted son (and actual grandson), Viveck Goenka, who holds the titles of Chairman and Managing Director. Viveck's son Anant (born to his first wife, Ananya) has recently been inducted into the company.

In the 2014 Indian Readership Survey, the Media Research Users Council did not list The Indian Express in ranking the top ten Indian English dailies by size of readership, so less than 361,000 readers.[2] According to comScore reports, The website indianexpress.com was India's third largest English-language news website reaching over 6 million unique visitors a month in India on desktop and laptop computers.[citation needed] In 2015, The Indian Express App won gold for the Best Mobile News Service in South Asia at the World Association of Newspapers' Asian Digital Media Awards.[citation needed]

The group holds the "Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism" awards in 15 categories for both print and broadcast journalism, which each carry a cash prize of INR 100,000. There are additional prizes of INR 250,000 for "Journalism of Courage" and "Journalist of the Year".[3] The awards were instituted on 12 April 2006 by the Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh, at a formal event in a hotel in New Delhi.[4]In November 2015, actor Aamir Khan's interview with Anant Goenka at the Ramnath Goenka Awards went viral and was broadcast on almost every news channel in the country.
