Morning context vs The Ken

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?

TMC >> Ken Personal view: TMC backs their analysis with numbers and insider input.. Ken (these days) largely copy pastes frameworks or articles from other publications and riffs off them.. More qualitative from Ken.. Lacks depth and insight

My opinion is that tmc puts the juicy parts of every company which leads people to overthink the real situation

Subscribe to the information. I know it's not Indian startups, but it is extremely good from a global perspective. TMC/Ken articles you can find for free on telegram groups

Both aren't very good. But if that's your selection set - Ken > TMC.

I do read the Mint. Not a lot of start up coverage, but generally good. Inc42 is better than the above 2 but doesn't have a lot of long form depth content.

TMC is mostly outrage based, masala kind of journalism. You don’t learn much, and it’s designed and written in a way to provoke an emotional reaction. Ken is somewhat more informative but most articles on that has “okay, so what?” Vibes. I suggest don’t pay for either. If your goal is to read about startups/business in India, ET pro does some good stories. You can also look at livemint, vccircle, the arc most of which aren’t behind a paywall. Instead subscribe to newsletters. Saldanha has a good one. Finshots is good for basics in Indian finance (though they copy matt Levine and other bllomberg/ft articles on occasions). There are many others around Indian startups. Most also share a collection of links relevant. Forgot to mention, for basic frameworks, do subscribe to ben thomson’s stratechery and benedict Evans’s newsletter. Both offer the kind of insights and links that would help a lot.

Indian startup reporting has stooped to new lows. The Ken which I once thought had deep analysis has now become the ScoopWhoop of startup ecosystem.
