Have you ever wished for a platform where stories on news, entertainment, and other countries were all integrated at one place? Do you like the interstate stuff from Hindu, entertainment from Deccan Chronicle and headlines from Times of India?
Same was the case with Mr Narasimha Reddy, founder of this awesome app called Newsdistill.
“I always thought that different sources had different perceptions about the same incidents and that reflected in their articles. I could sometimes clearly infer that some news sources were biased towards a particular political or organizational group and I would always look for other channels to see what they have to say about the same incidents. So, I ended up with a lot of open windows on my laptop and at times it became very cumbersome. Yet, it was pretty difficult for me to find what I wanted.
I am also inclined towards a particular news source when looking for a specific Genre. Personally I like ‘The Hindu’ for headlines, ‘Deccan Chronicle’ for Entertainment, ‘The Economic Times’ for business needs and so on. Not that I am biased, but those were my personal choices ...
... and I am sure everybody would have their own choices too!
Having said that, I always wished that the related articles from different sources were grouped together at one place for me to read and compare. And all my personal preferences like news from different Genres from different sources were all organized at one place. I wished for something that would do all this for me with just one click every day. How awesome would that be! How much time would that save me! That’s exactly when the Idea behind NewsDistill first got planted.” quoted the founder of this startup.
