In a time when most digital media platforms are chasing views with flashy headlines, loud debates, and viral trends, a quiet revolution has been brewing in the world of news — and it’s called India Hood.
Founded by Krishna Chandra Garain and Koushik Dutta, India Hood didn’t start with big investors or a glitzy newsroom. In fact, the early days were simple — a laptop, a vision, and the belief that people still want honest news without drama.
“We never thought about competing with big media,” says Krishna. “We just wanted to give people the kind of information that’s useful and real — not what’s trending for clicks.”
A Platform Born Out of Frustration
Back in 2022, Krishna and Koushik noticed a growing gap in the news ecosystem. Important updates — like government schemes, local weather alerts, or job notifications — were either buried under sensational headlines or ignored altogether.
So they decided to do something about it.
They launched India Hood, a bilingual platform delivering news in both Bengali and English, with two separate websites:
- infor Bengali regional content
- comfor startup, finance, and business news in English
Today, without running after TRPs, the platform quietly serves over 5 million readers every month — purely through word of mouth and trust.
Less Noise, More News
One of the biggest reasons for India Hood’s growing popularity is its no-nonsense approach. There are no shocking thumbnails or misleading titles. In most cases, the article title itself tells you exactly what you need to know.
“We value our readers’ time,” says Koushik. “They come to us because we’re not trying to manipulate them into clicking. We focus on the news — nothing else.”
And that’s exactly what they deliver: a reliable stream of government updates, job notifications that matter to the youth, timely weather alerts, and practical business trends. Alongside, India Hood also gives attention to cultural stories and district-level news that keep people connected to their roots and informed about what’s happening around them.
Trusted in the Towns, Read in the Cities
While national media often overlooks local stories, India Hood gives district-level reporting the space it deserves. Whether it’s a district-level weather update or a local job notification, the platform covers it.
At the same time, its English portal helps entrepreneurs, investors, and working professionals stay informed about India’s fast-changing startup and finance landscape.
Building a Brand Without Buying Attention
In a digital age dominated by ads and algorithms, India Hood’s growth is refreshingly organic. The team doesn’t flood social media with promotions, nor do they rely on clickbait tactics or paid traffic to gain attention. Instead, their steady rise has come from a focus on real news, community trust, and word-of-mouth appreciation.
Still, millions now trust India Hood as their daily source of information. That’s because, as readers say, the platform “feels human.” It respects your time, your intelligence, and your right to truth.
What’s Next?
India Hood is planning to expand its video offerings, with short explainers, expert interviews, and hyperlocal stories that often go unreported. They’re also exploring investigative journalism, especially around local governance and public accountability.
