What is the Signal?

In one line, The Signal is a free-to-read, daily newsletter that helps the reader understand the latest developments in technology, business, finance, economy and policy. It is published by The Core, a startup founded by financial journalist and media entrepreneur Govindraj Ethiraj with a distinct focus on India’s traditional economy as well as mature businesses, including the listed universe.

Our objective…

…is to offer high-class immersion to users; an experience from which they come off informed, equipped and, most of all, delighted. We are just right.

How do we do that?

We present qualitative insights by connecting the dots and bring deep analysis (in less than 250 words) devoid of needless jargon, often supported by reporting, in an easy-to-read manner.
