India Tribune

What India Tribune does

India Tribune is a privately held, founder-operated English-language weekly newspaper serving the Asian Indian diaspora in the United States. Founded in 1977 in Chicago by Prashant Shah, who continues as Publisher, the company publishes print editions in three US metros — Chicago, New York, and Atlanta — and operates a multi-platform digital footprint. Its core products are the India Tribune weekly newspaper, a Digital ePaper edition distributed via email to over 150,000 subscribers, the indiatribune.com website, and mobile applications on Google Play and Apple App Store. Content spans 15+ categories including India, World, Community, Politics, Economy, Entertainment, Legal, Startups, Sports, Life & Style, Astrology, Health, Opinions, Classifieds, and Business.

The underlying technology is a conventional content publishing platform: the website is powered by Generation Next (gnhub.com) as a technology partner, and a TradingView widget provides embedded financial market data. The organization is small (1-10 employees) and maintains a secondary contact presence in Surat, India. Distribution extends across physical print, a global-accessible website, an email-delivered digital edition, and iOS/Android apps, supplemented by social media channels on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Google.

India Tribune's business model is advertising-based: revenue is generated from businesses advertising on indiatribune.com to reach the publication's combined readership of more than 275,000 touchpoints (125,000+ print readers and 150,000+ digital subscribers). Specific ad pricing is not publicly disclosed, though the company notes "very low monthly charges" for advertising. There is no subscription paywall, no disclosed external funding, no institutional investors, and no parent company; the entity is wholly founder-owned and operated.
