Entrepreneur News, a rapidly expanding force in Indian business media, has officially launched The Global Power Shift, its April to June 2026 edition, designated as Volume 2, Issue No. 06. Featuring Howard Schultz, Chairman Emeritus of Starbucks, on the cover, this issue unites the founders, family businesses, and institutions that are shaping the trajectory of enterprise in India and across the globe.

Launched in 2024 as a media entity under the Navotra Group, Entrepreneur News operates at the intersection of enterprise intelligence, founder narratives, and business journalism.

Under the guidance of Akshita Verma, among the youngest Founders and Editors-in-Chief in the business media landscape, the publication operates on a core philosophy: prioritizing quality over volume. Every feature, profile, and edition is crafted with editorial precision, factual rigor, and a dedication to highlighting narratives that merit a worldwide audience. Entrepreneur News avoids the noise, focusing instead on documenting legacy in the making.
