The Core Has A Fresh New Look

Dear Reader,

Three years ago, we launched The Core with a simple belief. The Indian economy deserved better, deeper reporting. That the stories behind finance, business, technology and policy were worth telling well, and that there were readers who cared enough to read them.

You proved us right.

In a news ecosystem that grows louder and more crowded by the day, you chose to read us. You wrote to us with feedback, pushed back when you disagreed, and encouraged us when it mattered most. That relationship — between a newsroom and its readers — is not something we take for granted. It is, frankly, the reason we keep going.

Our core mission has not changed. We are here to report on the sectors that move India's economy, with rigour, clarity and independence. But we have grown, and we wanted you to be the first to see what that looks like.

We've given The Core a refresh. The new website is now live with a cleaner design, faster pages and simpler navigation. The idea was straightforward, to make it easier to read, discover and spend time with the journalism, without too many distractions. Whether you're diving into a long analysis, catching up on an opinion piece or quickly scanning the day's big developments through our newsletters, the experience should now feel smoother.

A few things you'll notice:

Podcasts, newsletters and stories are organised more clearly. Sections like Business, Opinion and Technology are simpler to browse. Podcast episodes now have a dedicated space. Article pages are cleaner and easier to read.

And if you haven't explored our podcasts yet, now is a good time to start. Each one is built around a distinct voice and a distinct purpose. 

• The Core Report with Govindraj Ethiraj is your daily briefing on the business and economic stories that matter — sharp, concise and worth your morning commute. 
  

• The Signal Brief with Kudrat Wadhwa cuts through the noise to bring you deep dives into the ‘how’ and 'why' of consumer trends.
  

• How India's Economy Works with Puja Mehra goes deeper — for those who want to understand the structures, policies and forces that shape the Indian economy over the long run. 
  

• The Media Room with Vanita Kohli-Khandekar is essential listening for anyone following the business of media, entertainment and the evolving attention economy.

All four are now easier to find and explore on the new site. Start with what interests you most, and let the conversation take you further.

Take a few minutes to explore the new site, read a story or two, listen to an episode, and see how it feels. We'll keep refining things along the way, and as always, your feedback helps us make it better.

Thank you once again. 

Warm Regards, 

Jency Jacob
Managing Editor, The Core
