How to read it

Free: Three stories a day · No account, no card · The whole front page to browse.

The full edition, ₹99 a month: Every story, every edition · Your beat leads the paper · India, Signal and alerts that matter. Free for readers who join at launch.

Read. Cluster. Weigh. Explain.

1. Reads the field Every two hours, across frontier labs, chipmakers, regulators, research and the Indian and global press.
2. Collapses the duplicates Forty reports of one event become one story, carrying every outlet that ran it — so you can see who confirmed it.
3. Weighs it Each story is scored out of 100 on impact, corroboration, how fast it spread and who it involves. Low, medium, high, breaking.
4. Explains it What happened, why it matters, what changes — and the Indian angle, when there genuinely is one.

How we work: sources, scoring and where AI is used

Every claim on this page is inspectable.

Every story names its sources and how many independently carried it. A single-source report is labelled as one, and told to be treated with care. Nothing is ever reproduced in full — we summarise and link to the people who did the reporting.

The score is not a mood. It is impact, source credibility, corroboration, company weight, Indian relevance and velocity, in fixed proportions, shown on the story. Where an Indian angle does not exist, the page says so rather than inventing one.

Fifteen beats. Choose yours.
