Quartz India celebrates second anniversary

Quartz editor in chief Kevin Delaney and Quartz India editor in chief Diksha Madhok write about the website’s second anniversary.

Delaney and Madhok write, “For our readers in India, Quartz India is also a home for relevant coverage of the new global economy, from Quartz’s more than 80 journalists around the world.

“We have also offered you Quartz in increasingly creative forms. The most recent example is our iPhone app, which delivers news written for a chat interface by a team of Quartz journalists. Thousands of charts have been published on Atlas, the home for data and charts on the internet created by Quartz. Our Daily Brief email newsletter has over 200,000 loyal subscribers and has inspired other Indian news organizations to echo its approach. You can also see Quartz India on Snapchat and Facebook Live.

“We’re building Quartz to be the business news brand of our century. Our growing team of journalists — in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Bangalore — have studied in and reported from around the world and will continue to explore varied forms of storytelling. We also want readers who are living the stories of India to write for us, and you can do that by simply getting in touch with our Ideas team.”
