The problem

More news than ever. Less clarity.

Indians now get more news than at any point in history: TV debates, push alerts, forwards and feeds, all day.

  • Much of it competes for attention, and attention rewards sensationalism.
  • Much of it takes a side, so one event arrives as two different stories.
  • The result is noise: real information mixed up with outrage and opinion.
What InData does

InData turns the noise into insights you can use.

We start from credible sources: government statistics, regulators and named reports. We check the numbers and draw them to scale, so what you see is what the data says.

Why visuals

People understand pictures faster than paragraphs.

We are built to spot patterns. A difference that takes a paragraph to explain is obvious at a glance once it is drawn, and people remember what they see far longer than what they read.

What InData is

InData is a visual publication about India. Every day except Sunday we publish one chart, map or motion graphic on how India earns, spends, travels and lives.

Every number comes from an official or named source, printed on the chart. Every shape is drawn to scale: when one bar is twice as tall as another, its number is twice as big.

If we get something wrong, we fix the chart and say what changed.
