TNM has accessed a chilling 16-minute audio. Weeks before 20-month-old Arshith was tortured to death in Kerala, his grandmom called the Child Protection office with clear warnings. @harithajohn1 and @AzeefaFathima on how the system failed. thenewsminute.com/kerala/aud…

Wish it wasn't AI
Waited for 2 hours yesterday early morning to click this pic, because I'm super excited to announce that @shoffr_in is now available in Hyderabad! 🥳 Of all the city launch requests we've gotten over the past 3 years, Hyderabad has been the most popular one perhaps because of similar airport dynamics and the quality of choices available. We're launching today with a small fleet of 15 BYDs, and this will hopefully grow to 50 by June end. For now, I request you to please book us 1-2 days in advance (whether it's airport transfers, hourly rentals, or outstation) so that we can deliver the same gold standard ride experience to you in Hyderabad. Most of you already know that we don't do any marketing and have only grown via word-of-mouth - this has only been possible because of your love and support, and I'm so grateful for that ❤️ Thank you again for trusting us, for giving us another chance when we've screwed up, and for constantly rooting for our growth and success! If you've enjoyed the Shoffr experience, please share this update with your friends and family in Hyderabad 🙂 And if you're a corporate with a focus on sustainability / becoming greener, please leave a comment here or e-mail corporate@shoffr.in. Launching Shoffr in Hyderabad is special for both @kislayverma and me, as this is where we first met while working at D.E. Shaw & Co way back in 2011. We both have so many fond memories (and some blurred ones) of this city, and it's amazing to see how it's developed since then. Thank you, Hyd, for all the love and opportunities you've given us - can't wait to see what's in store next!

When I aspired to be journalist, India's position in World Press Freedom Index was 136 out of 180 countries; now it is 157. A press is truly free only when questions are asked without fear& power is held to account without pressure. When freedom weakens, truth begins to fade

Every time we choose silence, the lies grow stronger. And when that happens, truth becomes rare and we are left afraid This Press Freedom Month, subscribe to The News Minute, where the mind is without fear. thenewsminute.com/subscripti…

Orwell said that real journalism is printing what someone doesn't want printed. Everything else is public relations. A lot of what you're reading is PR. The News Minute isn't. This Press Freedom Month, subscribe to TNM, where the mind is without fear. thenewsminute.com/subscripti…

4 years ago, I joined @thenewsminute as a young journalist. It didn’t just teach me to report with care — it shaped how I think, question, and see the world. I couldn’t have asked for a better first newsroom. Proud to be here as #TNMTurns12 Subscribe: thenewsminute.com/subscripti…
