It is India's first newspaper to be published in the Berliner format. The former editor of the Wall Street Journal India, Raju Narisetti ran mint from its founding in 2007 to 2008. Narisetti was succeeded by Sukumar Ranganathan, who served as editor until 2017.
In 2014, Mint and the Journal ended their seven-year editorial partnership. The companies now have a content syndication agreement as well as a subscriptions bundle.
In 2017, former editor of Khaleej Times Vinay Kamat was appointed as Editor, replacing Sukumar Ranganathan.
In November 2020, Sruthijith Kurupichankandy, better known as SK, was appointed Editor-in-chief.
