When will Paytm start making money

You go past the headline, strip out the jargon, peel the agenda, wash off the colourful words before you get to what’s relevant to you. When did the news get so tedious?

News has been, for long, hostage to certain dated rules of writing while its biggest obligation is only to present facts. As the renowned scientist and author Steven Pinker has argued, the rules pale in importance behind principles of clarity, style, coherence, and consideration for the reader.

In the era of information overload, and fake news, we take the time to verify, make the effort to drown out the noise, strip off the layers and bring you the story in the shortest, simplest and the crispiest way possible.

This is Simply Put, a weekly explainer on some of the hottest happenings around us and give you more than just the headline, present it to you in a way that you can understand and explain to others ⁠— whether it is an interview or over the dinner table or to make an authoritative point on social media ⁠— just as lucidly and make an impression.

Not just that, it will be a complete experience for the digital age with graphics, videos, toons and more. We are not breaking news, we are breaking down the news.
