Reading & media habits - founders

I want to read in depth business case studies/stories from India. I also want to consume relevant startup news and updates. What is the best place to find such content? Seems like all good content is hidden behind a paywall. If I have to buy a subscription which one should I buy?

Hey Everyone, I'm Vaibhav Vardhan, Co-Founder & CEO at Inc42. We are India’s #1 startup media & intelligence platform that informs, educates and empowers startup leaders & operators through our incisive reporting and industry-leading executive programs like FounderX. I'd love to chat with you folks about my journey in building Inc42, why we’ve built FounderX and more! Ask Me Anything :) I’ll be back at 5PM and answer all your questions!

Which media outlet do you think does the worst tech reporting? My vote goes to Moneycontrol: everything is a scoop with a red alert🚨. Saw the third wave article where they are naming Nikhil Kamath intentionally to stir up negativity about him. Also trying to showcase auto drivers as messiah in the Namma Yatri news. Other runner ups: The Morning Context & Yourstory. What are yours?

Do any of you also think that there are like too many portals reporting on startups and many of theirs subscriptions are like the most expensive in news category overall.

What are some platforms you use for quality reads on anything tech/ business? I'm exploring more as ones I follow don't seem enough. Thanks in advance! :) I personally follow 1. Finshots 2. Bain Insights 3. ET Prime (some articles are good) 4. Inc42 (though the paywall is an issue) 5. LinkedIn here and there, not good lately

What do you read to understand the industry. I am a wannabe entrepreneur and I feel it is important to real a lot. But i don't find trustworthy sources. I tried to read McKinsey reports but they support web3 metaverse, and I find these stupid stupid. Can you suggest me some sources?? I guess there is one called ken, but its paid, is it worth it?

I believe in being stoic, and hence avoid reading about politic/war etc. (stuff I do not control). But I want to read up on Business/Startups/Economics stuff so that I am up to date. Currently it's too spread out: across news websites (inc42, Bloomberg), twitter, and grapevine. Want to make news reading more streamlined, so I actually read the best things every morning on the pot :P Do share your go-to's!
