Founded in 2014 by Abhishek Mazumdar and Anurag Mazumdar, The Logical Indian emerged as a digital media platform to challenge the status quo in mainstream news. Based in Bengaluru, the portal took a bold approach to storytelling—using social media and crowdsourcing to drive awareness around civic issues, fact-checking, and public interest narratives.
Civic Journalism in the Digital Age
The Logical Indian focuses on human interest stories, governance, citizen-led initiatives, and ground realities that often go unreported by larger news networks. Its editorial voice promotes inclusivity, social justice, and data-backed awareness, aiming to create a more informed and participatory citizenry.
Regular content includes:
- Explainers on current affairs,
- Campaign-driven stories (e.g., road safety, gender rights),
- Fact-checks through its Fact Check Lab,
- Youth-focused content encouraging civic engagement.
Social-First and Crowdsourced News Culture
At a time when audiences seek quick, authentic content, The Logical Indian innovated by distributing stories natively across platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter). Much of its news gathering is supported by user-generated tips, leading to rapid virality and visibility of grassroots issues—from village infrastructure failures to protests and medical negligence.
Its crowdsourced journalism model builds community ownership over stories, making the platform both a news outlet and a movement.
Fact-Checking and Fighting Misinformation
Recognized by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), The Logical Indian actively counters fake news and propaganda. Its Fact Check Lab regularly debunks viral misinformation circulating on WhatsApp and social platforms—especially during elections and emergencies.
Campaigns That Drive Change
From the My Country My Voice civic initiative to environmental awareness drives and police accountability campaigns, The Logical Indian doesn’t just report stories—it builds momentum behind them. Many of its investigative or documentary-style pieces have resulted in public apologies, government responses, and administrative action.
