New Delhi, July 13 (ANI/Business Wire India): Mint, HT Media Ltd's business daily in an exclusive content partnership with The Wall Street Journal, is now national.

With its accent on clarity in reporting, stand-out design and printing, and the exclusive WSJ section, Mint is the choice of senior decision makers across industry and government.

The launch excitement will culminate on August 12 with a high-profile clarity through debate event that will focus on the key issue of financial inclusion.

With panelists that include policy makers and business leaders from both the public and private sectors, the event will underscore Mint's commitment to bringing clarity in business to issues that matter.
