What MediaNama does

MediaNama, operated by Mixed Bag Media Pvt. Ltd., is a Delhi-based B2B media and analysis platform founded in 2008 that covers technology and policy developments in India across the Telecom, Internet, Media, and Gaming sectors. Its core product is a WordPress-based editorial platform (medianama.com) publishing news, investigations, and analysis on topics including IT Rules, data protection, net neutrality, competition law, platform regulation, e-commerce, and freedom of expression. The platform serves technology policy professionals, tech-industry businesses, digital rights advocates, and government stakeholders, distributing content through its website, a free daily newsletter with 5,000+ subscribers, video content, and organic social channels.

The company's product surface extends beyond editorial into a recurring #NAMA roundtable event series hosted in Indian cities, paid educational workshops via Reasoned.Live, a premium "MediaNama Insights" analysis tier, and a separate AI-focused Substack publication called "Reasoned" run by founder Nikhil Pahwa. Revenue is not publicly disclosed but is inferred to come from event sponsorship, premium content subscriptions (Insights), workshop fees, and possibly advisory services; the only funding on record is a 2022 non-dilutive grant from the Independent and Public-Spirited Media Foundation. The business operates with 1-10 employees, is founder-led, and has no disclosed equity investors, parent company, or subsidiaries.
