Optimist India is an independent daily publication telling India’s positive stories — the achievers, social-impact initiatives, equality campaigns, education, sustainability, youth innovation, health and culture that rarely make the headlines. Positive does not mean uncritical: every story carries a named byline, links to primary sources, and a clear publication date, and we correct mistakes in public. There is no paywall.
The newsroom is led by Ananya Krishnan, Editor-in-Chief, with section editors listed on the masthead. Read our editorial guidelines, ethics policy and corrections policy — or the full story of the publication and its name on the About Optimist India page.
