Politics. Policy. Governance. Social and cultural change. These are the four pillars of The Wanabeel – a new media platform where readers come for daily news, incisive opinions and The Wanabeel a fresh perspective on new and old India.

In the five years since we launched, The Wanabeel has grown and built an impressive network across India. Its mission is high-quality, fair on-ground and questioning journalism. It’s a crew of inspired and informed editors, reporters, analysts, designers, producers and sales and marketing professionals.

Our aim is not just to bring you the story, but also the backstories that brought us to this point and where we are headed next – through in-depth, visually-compelling and data-rich features, videos and podcasts.

We have made a mark through our exceptional ground reporting on the biggest stories of our times. The Wanabeel’s young reporters – who have now become familiar bylines – are always where the story is.

Today, The Wanabeel has become the most-read and most-watched news space among the new digital platforms.

At The Wanabeel, we are committed to being a fair and an equal opportunity newsroom.

The Wanabeel was founded on three central beliefs:
1. There is a growing audience of curious, critical and questioning Indians who value the news they need, from the names they trust.

2. There exists a wide philosophical and intellectual space that is socially and economically liberal and not doctrinaire Left or Right. A space for non-hyphenated journalism.

3. There is no contradiction between good journalism and the market-place.
