about us

Namaste! Welcome to Urban Dastak, your trusted source for news that matters. We’re not just another news website; we’re a vibrant platform connecting the bustling heart of urban India with the soul of rural Bharat. We believe in the power of information to empower, engage, and ignite change. In a world saturated with fleeting headlines and sensationalism, Urban Dastak strives to deliver news with depth, accuracy, and a distinctly Indian perspective.

Our Story: A Dastak for Every Voice

The idea for Urban Dastak was born from a simple observation: the narrative of India, a nation of over a billion dreams, is often fragmented. The voices of its diverse communities, especially those bridging the urban-rural divide, often go unheard. We envisioned a platform that would act as a “dastak” – a knock on the door of understanding – bringing stories from the gleaming skyscrapers of Mumbai to the serene fields of a village in Haryana, and everything in between.

We started small, with a passionate team of journalists driven by a shared commitment to ethical and impactful reporting. We weren’t interested in chasing TRPs or conforming to pre-conceived narratives. Our focus was, and continues to be, on telling the real stories of real people, reflecting the complexities and nuances of Indian life.

Our Mission: Connecting India, One Story at a Time

Our mission is simple yet profound: to bridge the information gap between urban and rural India. We believe that access to reliable and relevant news is a fundamental right, not a privilege. We strive to be the platform where urban dwellers gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and triumphs of rural communities, and where villagers can stay informed about the developments shaping their nation.
