About GroundInk

India has millions of creators raising questions mainstream media won't.

Journalists on YouTube. Investigators on Instagram. Ground reporters filing RTIs in their own cities. Creators who talk about the impact of government policy, bureaucratic failures, and civic neglect on the common man's daily life — not just headlines, but consequences. GroundInk gives their work a permanent home.

YouTube & Instagram Creators

They expose how government schemes fail ordinary people

These creators explain the real impact of policy decisions on your daily life — your job, your rent, your children's education. Their investigations reach millions of viewers. GroundInk makes those investigations permanently searchable on Google — long after the algorithm stops showing the video.

RTI Journalists

They file RTIs to expose what authorities hide

Right to Information requests that reveal missing funds, unbuilt roads, unspent allocations, and unanswered complaints. These journalists turn government documents into stories — asking the questions bureaucrats and politicians don't want answered. Every RTI finding deserves a permanent record.

Ground Reporters

They go where mainstream media won't

Demolitions. Farmer distress. Local scams. Civic failures in small cities that never appear in national newspapers. These reporters give a permanent voice to people whose names, struggles, and stories would otherwise disappear entirely. This is the journalism India's common man deserves.

Every story on GroundInk answers one question: How does this affect you?
