Pakistan: ARY Digital Network, one of Pakistan’s most influential and widely viewed television networks, has acquired majority shares of the digital media platform Nukta as part of ARY Group’s broader strategy to expand its leadership in the evolving digital media landscape.
The move reflects ARY Group’s continued commitment to innovation in journalism, combining its decades-long strength in broadcast media with the growing importance of digital storytelling and audience engagement.
Through this integration, Nukta will join ARY Group’s expanding media ecosystem, which currently reaches millions of viewers across television, digital platforms and international markets.
Salman Iqbal, Founder of the ARY Digital Network & CEO of the ARY Group, said: “The media landscape is changing rapidly, and ARY has always been at the forefront of that evolution. By bringing Nukta into the ARY ecosystem, we are strengthening our digital presence while building on ARY’s global broadcast leadership. We are confident this integrated platform will deliver powerful journalism and innovative storytelling for the digital age.”
