A fan-first independent magazine on music subcultures in India and beyond

I'm a bit biased because they're also friends, but Rahul and Arnav write one of the most definitive newsletters on Indian indie music. ditch your Rolling Stones mags, guys.

Tigerfeathers

By Rahul Sanghi

Writing, on behalf of an optimistic India

Rahul and Aaryaman are crafting gems on Tigerfeathers! I still remember being wowed by The Internet Country when I first read it in 2021. They're defining what good business content means.

I don't read the newsletter, but this is just a note of appreciation for Jon's YouTube channel. masterclass in business, tech, and economics storytelling. you can't miss any of his videos about Taiwan: be it semiconductors or convenience stores.

Opium of the Masses

By Paridhi Puri

essays on the liminal space between culture and memory

Having worked with Paridhi on a piece before, I know that this is a writer who's knock-your-socks-off good. I can't wait for her to blow up (which she 100% will)!
