TheReader.AI: Short News India

Real news for real people. No noise. No ads. Ever.

TheReader.AI brings you the latest India and world news today — breaking headlines and top stories from across the country, each cut to a 60-second summary. Clean, private, and shaped entirely around you. No clickbait. No redirects. No algorithm quietly deciding you should be angry today.

CREDIBLE SOURCES ONLY. NO EXCEPTIONS.

We don't scrape the open web. Every publisher is admitted by hand against one standard: a real newsroom that employs reporters, publishes its corrections, and stays editorially independent.

PTI and Reuters for the wire. The Hindu, Indian Express, Hindustan Times and Times of India. Republic and Times Now alongside The Wire and The Print. Moneycontrol, Economic Times, Mint and CNBC-TV18 for markets. Inc42 on startups. BBC, Guardian, Al Jazeera and Bloomberg for world news.

Read that list again. That is the point.

FROM KASHMIR TO KERALA — YOUR STATE, YOUR NEWS

India is not four metros. State and regional news from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, Assam, Madhya Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir.

Local city news — Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune and Kochi. Pick your state and the feed follows you home.

DIVERSE BY DESIGN — UNBIASED INDIA NEWS

One masthead is one vantage point. TheReader.AI draws across the spectrum — left, right and centre. Where credible coverage disagrees, you see that it disagrees. We summarise what was reported, not what we'd like you to conclude.

THE SUMMARY ISN'T THE CEILING

Sixty seconds when you're skimming. The whole thing when you're not. Tap any story and the full article opens inside TheReader.AI — what the journalist wrote, no popups, no cookie banners, no nine-second redirect.

BREAKING NEWS, WITHOUT THE PANIC

Smart alerts for what matters to you — not eighteen notifications an hour.

SPORT — NOT JUST CRICKET

ESPNcricinfo, Cricbuzz, Wisden and Sportstar. IPL, India internationals, Test, ODI and T20. Football too — the World Cup, ISL and Europe's big leagues. Plus badminton, chess, hockey and kabaddi.

INDIA ON THE WORLD STAGE

Olympic and Asian Games medals. ISRO launches, CSIR research, IIT labs and Indian startups building things that ship.

THE WORLD, NOT JUST INDIA'S VIEW OF IT

Wars, conflict zones and the humanitarian crises behind them. Ceasefire talks, summits and trade negotiations between world leaders. Sanctions, oil and supply-chain shocks. Global layoffs, funding rounds and the tech shifts that reach India months late.
