INDIAGOSS will aim to tell its readers what is really happening in India. The real and unvarnished story. No boring articles on our website. No public relations gloss handed out at press conferences. No soft profiles of titans in India. The real-life information with accurate and unbiased presentation. We report which has happened with real facts. All gossips at a reliable level. We tell you what is really happening in India.
IndiaGoss Style: On a lighter side, do report in if you attended a meeting or conference today where one attendee just rambled on. And rambled on. And stated the obvious. Or praised the boss for 5 minutes. You get the drift. Most of our reports will be 500 words. But if someone has an interesting idea or report we can stretch the story up to 1000 words. These would be original ideas like analysing future trends or satirical pieces about conferences. Let us know. Our aim is to be a people's website, with a flair for unbiased reporting, telling our readers what is really happening in India. And journalists sending us snippets what their own media will not publish for fear of loosing advertising revenue or antagonizing powerful managers. Will this website be read? Hopefully yes. But it will take up to 3 months before it builds traction.
Will it be a commercial success? That is a harder question to answer. We will not be approaching any of our report on for advertising revenues. If they do advertise, we will spell out every detail of such arrangements to our readers. In many ways, such a frank, transparent approach would be our greatest strength. We hope to raise revenue from our subscribers in India. And sell a stake if the website starts doing well.
IndiaGoss Strategy: This website will be reporting for Indian audience across the globe. We are strong believers in the India happenings and have put our money where our mouth is. The design, development and hosting is being done by Indians. The majority of the contributors will be from India, and most of the editing will be done from there as well.
Am sure you will have some questions for us. And suggestions and story ideas. Feel free to write to indiagoss@gmail.com. This website will only succeed with your active participation. Hopefully, you will use this as a forum to tell others about the clever, interesting and gossipy things happening in the tech industry.
Please be assured that your contributions will be totally anonymous if you chose so. Your identity will be known only to the Editor at IndiaGoss. And he will personally communicate with you about story ideas and remuneration. Above all, the communications are protected by journalist-source laws. Hopefully, the track record of the journos at this website will give you this confidence.
Please bear with us in the first month or so till we get the gremlins out of the system. Correct us if we make a mistake. Happy to immediately rectify articles which are factually incorrect.

Please bear with us in the first month if we are inundated the teething issues, and cannot respond as promptly as we normally do. Also, note that every important email should be sent to indiagoss@gmail.com only. We are in the process of setting up an office in India and would advertise our land line/fax numbers once connected. In the meantime, touch base via email and let's work out a mutually convenient time to talk.
We start this venture with lots of hope and a sense of excitement. But an equal measure of trepidation as well. I have nothing in common with them, but must confess that I share the occasional nightmare of some of the nouveau riche socialites in India. What if you threw a party and no one came? Hopefully, you will.
Warm regards,
IndiaGoss Editor
