Nimbus Communications Limited was an Indian media and entertainment company, and sports broadcaster, known for its Neo Prime and Neo Sports channels.[1]

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,[2] 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.[citation needed]

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).[3][4] In 2010, the Times of India Group acquired a minority stake in Nimbus.[5]

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.[6]

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.[7]
