One Thing We Learned
Each issue, we'd share one new thing we picked up while researching or reporting. A small nugget that didn't fit anywhere else but felt too interesting to throw away.
Cause of Death:
We couldn't keep up. Daily nuggets got hectic. Turns out consistency beats ambition.

It's the Economy, Stupid
A dedicated macro piece. GDP, inflation, RBI policy, fiscal math — all the big picture stuff, but written so it didn't make your eyes glaze over. Or that was the idea, anyway.
Cause of Death:
Eyes glazed over anyway. Macro is hard. Really hard. We tried.

The Weekly Brief
A weekly roundup for people who couldn't keep up with the daily edition. Sounds simple, right? Turns out, condensing five days of context into one piece is way harder than writing five separate ones.
Cause of Death:
Died of complexity. Also, people who wanted weekly weren't our people anyway.
⚰️
Please Help Me Understand
We'd pick something that confused us — a regulation, a business model, a market trend — and try to explain it from scratch. Learning alongside the reader.
Cause of Death:
Admitting confusion doesn't inspire confidence. Readers wanted experts, not fellow students.

The World, Simplified
An attempt to cover global events and international business with the same accessible lens we bring to Indian markets.
Cause of Death:
The world refused to be simplified. Also, our readers cared about Indian markets. Shocking.

Just a Little Beyond the Headlines
Short-ish pieces that took the day's biggest headline and asked: okay, but what's actually going on here? What's the context nobody's giving you?
Cause of Death:
This was literally just... our regular articles. We were already doing this. Oops.

What Does That Mean
A glossary-meets-explainer series. What is a credit spread? What does a debt-to-equity ratio actually tell you? Financial jargon, decoded.
Cause of Death:
Investopedia exists. We are not Investopedia. Hard pill to swallow.
⚰️
What the Hell Is Happening
For those days — or weeks — when everything seemed to be going sideways at once and you just needed someone to calmly walk you through the chaos.
Cause of Death:
Turns out "calm" during chaos is hard to schedule. Also, chaos is relative and subjective.

Plotlines from The Chatter
We tried pulling narrative threads across multiple earnings calls to spot bigger industry stories. Like, connecting what five different FMCG companies were saying about rural demand to paint a picture none of them were painting individually.
Cause of Death:
Brilliant in theory. Brutal in execution. Earnings calls are boring. Five of them? Torture.
