Built around a simple idea — news in 100 words — Forem News turns India, international and business headlines from 60+ trusted publishers into clean, swipeable summaries, so people can catch up in minutes without wading through long articles or cluttered feeds.
News in 100 Words
Instead of endless scrolling, Forem News gives readers the essence of each story in around 100 words. A clean, swipe-up feed lets users move from one summary to the next in a single gesture — designed for quick, focused catch-ups on a commute, a coffee break, or first thing in the morning. The feed opens on the day's newest stories, and news covered by multiple publishers rises to the top.
60+ Trusted Sources, Clearly Attributed
Forem News brings together stories from India's leading newsrooms and the world's most recognised outlets, always naming the source and linking back to the original article:
- India — Times of India, NDTV, Hindustan Times, India Today, The Hindu, Republic World, Indian Express and more
- World — BBC, CNN, Sky News, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, NPR and more
- Official — Government of India (PIB) press releases
- Specialist — Economic Times, Mint, TechCrunch, ESPNcricinfo, Variety and more
Every Indian State and Union Territory
Readers follow national headlines and then add the places that matter to them — all 36 Indian states and union territories are covered, from Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh to Kerala, West Bengal and the Northeast. Selected states appear as tabs in the feed alongside topics including Top Stories, India, World, Business, Markets, Startups, Technology, Cricket, Sports, Entertainment, Politics, Science, Health, Gaming and Automobile.
Daily Digest, Offline Reading, and Privacy by Design
Forem News is built for real-world use, on and off the network:
- An optional daily digest — a once-a-day briefing notification, delivered at a time the reader chooses
- Offline reading — stories save automatically, so the feed keeps working on the metro, on flights, or anywhere without signal
- Bookmarks and search across every headline in the feed
- Light and dark mode, following the system theme
- One-tap sharing, with headline, source and link included
- No account, no ads, no analytics and no trackers — everything the app remembers stays on the device
Leadership Perspective
Mayur Patil, Managing Director of Forem Innovations, said:
"People want to stay informed, but they don't always have time to read full articles or patience for cluttered, ad-heavy feeds. Forem News gives you the day's biggest stories in about 100 words each — just swipe up and you're caught up."
He further added:
"We've focused on speed, clarity, and respect for the reader. Forem News lets you choose your own sources, topics and states, read offline, and always links back to the original publisher — informative, fair, and genuinely fast."
