About India: Your Digital Window to the Heart of India
Our Story
India was founded in 2017 with a vision to bridge the information gap within India and provide a comprehensive digital platform for news and insights. We recognized the vast and diverse landscape of our nation, where stories from remote villages often go untold, and communities yearn for reliable, accessible information.
Our journey began as a small team of passionate journalists, technologists, and visionaries who believed in the power of technology to connect people and ideas. We set out to create a one-stop destination for all things Indian—a place where news, culture, and diverse voices could converge and thrive.

Filling an Information Gap
The internet landscape in India presented a unique challenge: while access to information has never been easier, much of the content was either biased, incomplete, or focused on urban centers. India fills this gap by:
