We built Gist because the way people consume and discuss current events was broken — too much, too fast, too passive. So we fixed it.
The problem isn't a lack of information. It's too much of it, consumed passively. People scroll, but don't think. React, but don't discuss. Gist is built to close that gap.
We use AI not to replace depth, but to make things land — visually, quickly, honestly. And we use Voice, Pulse, and Series to turn passive scrollers into active participants. Every person deserves to actually understand what's happening around them — and to have a say in it.
One story. The context you need. The noise you don't. We cut everything that doesn't serve the reader.
What happens in Bengaluru is just as important as what happens in Delhi. Gist treats local as first-class news.
We don't just show you the headline. We show you how real people across the country feel about it — in live numbers.
Our AI illustrates, summarises, and surfaces. It does not fabricate. It does not sensationalise. That line is non-negotiable.
Gist is built by a focused team of engineers, product designers, and people who care deeply about how information moves in India. We're small by choice — fast, opinionated, and obsessed with the product.
