Nimbus Communications

Nimbus Communications Limited was an Indian media and entertainment company, and sports broadcaster, known for its Neo Prime and Neo Sports channels.

Nimbus offered integrated, end-to-end media services focused on sports broadcasting, marketing, and filmed entertainment. Headquartered in Mumbai, it was established in 1987 by Harish Thawani, and operated across India, Singapore, the Middle East, and the Caribbean, serving customers in the United States, Canada, the UK, Asia, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.

In 2006, the company secured a four-year contract with the BCCI for international match broadcasting rights, valued at $612.18 million (Rs 2,714 crore). In 2010, the Times of India Group acquired a minority stake in Nimbus.

In 2017, Nimbus Communications sold a portion of its digital Bangladesh cricket content rights—covering select archival periods and exclusive digital use—to Marhaba Cricket India Ltd, a UK-registered company involved in cricket rights acquisition and distribution.

In 2018, following financial disputes with Union Bank of India regarding unpaid short-term loans totaling ₹35 crore, the Bombay High Court ordered the liquidation of Nimbus Communications.
