[notification type=”notification_info” ]“We are passionate about the news because it is connective tissue for humanity. Those who read better know better and do better. It is our mission to spark global conversations about issues that matter And, no global conversation is complete without India.
We live in an age where connectivity risks connection. We’d like to change that. Too much information can overwhelm and result in what’s important going unseen. The News Republic team believes that Intelligently informed citizens become powerfully empowered citizens – this is what galvanizes us.”[/notification]
