So, a significant day for us at @medianama today. An especially difficult decision for me to make, since I've always felt a pull from a public interest perspective that information, in order to be effective and usable by a wider group, needs to be open, and accessible

1/

Our goal has always been to help bring about a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the Internet, especially in India, with the mission to foster an Internet that is open, fair, competitive and global.

Our work has provided insight that has helped shape tech policy,

2/

encouraged public participation in policy-making, provided policy & business decision makers with food for thought, been a source for papers, research reports & books, as well as helped journalists at other publications understand what’s important.

Our work is driven by the pursuit of meaning,& our body-of-work approach,of staying with an issue,and not letting it fade after a single story,is testament to that. Our events, both physical & virtual, have been focused on enabling meaningful & audience-focused conversations.

Over the past couple of years, activity in both tech policy & business in India have ramped up. I’ll be honest: just keeping pace with all that has been going on, has been a struggle for our small team. We need to grow, and to build our capacity to do more

For that, we need your support and subscription to enable us.

If we’ve been of use to you – helped you understand an issue, raise a voice for something you believe in, been a source for an article, report, story, book or presentation you’ve prepared,
