Feminism in India

What Feminism in India does

Feminism in India (FII) is a digital intersectional feminist media organisation operating since 2013 as FII Media Private Limited, a private limited company registered in New Delhi, India. It publishes editorial content across categories including culture, society, health, intersectionality, history, politics, law, and personal essays, applied through an Indian-context lens covering caste, gender, sexuality, disability, religion, and class. The core product is a WordPress-based publishing platform (feminisminindia.com) accompanied by a Hindi-language edition (hindi.feminisminindia.com), a YouTube channel with themed playlists, podcast series, a weekly email newsletter, a feminist glossary, and a research section. Named advocacy campaigns (#GBVinMedia, #DigitalHifazat, #IndianWomenInHistory, FII Wiki Project) and a community of guest contributors drive content production and engagement.

The organisation serves individual readers and supporters — primarily English- and Hindi-speaking audiences interested in feminism and social justice in India — and reaches them through organic content marketing, social channels (YouTube, Telegram, WhatsApp), newsletter subscriptions, and community engagement. FII operates a paywall-free model: all editorial content is provided free of charge, with operations sustained primarily by voluntary reader donations processed via Razorpay, supplemented by merchandise sales through the FII Shop. The only disclosed institutional funding is a 2020 grant from the Independent and Public-Spirited Media Foundation. Headcount is small (1–10 employees), and there is no disclosed venture capital, private equity ownership, or enterprise B2B revenue. The company holds no patents, operates no mobile app, and exposes no API or developer platform.
