Swades Times
Swades Times was founded on a simple idea — that a nation understands itself best when its news comes from the ground up. We cover the stories that shape everyday life across India: policy that reaches the village as much as the boardroom, elections as much as elections’ aftermath, and the quiet local reporting that bigger newsrooms often skip.
Why We Exist
India’s news cycle moves fast, but understanding shouldn’t be a casualty of speed. Swades Times was built to slow down just enough — to verify before we publish, to explain before we react, and to follow a story long after the headline fades.
We report from state capitals and small towns alike, because we believe the news of a nation is written in both places. Our reporters work close to their beats, and our editors work hard to keep the writing plain, direct, and free of spin.
“Swades” means homeland. Our promise is to cover it like one — with the attention it deserves, and none of the noise it doesn’t.”
What We Cover
Politics & Policy
Parliament, state assemblies, and the decisions that move from Delhi to your district.
States & Cities
On-the-ground coverage from every region we reach, not just the metros.
Business & Economy
Markets, jobs, and policy explained in terms that matter to households, not just investors.
Culture & Community
Festivals, movements, and the everyday stories that don’t always make the front page elsewhere.
Cricket & Beyond
Match coverage alongside the athletes and leagues outside the spotlight.
Context First
Long-form pieces that walk through the “why,” not just the “what.”
What We Stand For
-
1
Accuracy over speed
We would rather publish a story correctly a little later than publish it wrong first.
-
2
Independence
Our reporting isn’t for sale, and it isn’t for any one party, ideology, or advertiser.
-
3
Correcting our mistakes
When we get something wrong, we say so clearly and fix it in public, not quietly.
-
4
Local first
We give the same seriousness to a district story as we do to a national one.
