What Peoples Feed is
Peoples Feed is an independent digital news publication that reports on named people who change what happens to other people. Politicians, diplomats, civil servants, doctors, teachers, professors, scientists, vice chancellors, school and college heads, armed forces personnel, social workers and anyone whose work visibly alters somebody else’s circumstances.
The unit of a Peoples Feed story is not a sector, a trend or a press release. It is one named human being and one verifiable thing they did, on a date, with a document behind it.
peoplesfeed.in/ published its first article on 11 September 2026. It is owned and operated by Incunation Global, a sole proprietorship based in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. Our sister publication is StartupFeed.in, which covers India's startup economy.
What we are not. Peoples Feed is not a public relations service, a fan page, an awards platform or a gossip site. We do not sell coverage. We do not accept payment, in cash or in kind, to publish a story, change a headline or move an article up a page. See our Editorial Policy and Advertise With Us page for exactly where the line sits.
Our mission
India produces an enormous amount of coverage about institutions and almost none about the specific people inside them who make things work. A district collector moves 1,400 families onto piped water. A surgeon completes a first-of-its-kind procedure. A vice chancellor rewrites an admission rule that changes the path for 40,000 students. Most of that is never written down anywhere a reader can find it.
Our mission is to write it down properly: with the name spelled correctly, the designation current, the number sourced, the date checked and the original document linked. We want a reader to leave a Peoples Feed article knowing something they can act on, repeat or verify for themselves.
What we cover: the ten beats
Everything we publish sits in one of ten beats. If a story does not fit one of these, we do not run it.
| Beat | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Governance & Policy | Ministers, MPs, MLAs, policy decisions and the people who draft and drive them. |
| Civil Services | IAS, IPS, IFS and state service officers, postings, orders and what those orders actually did. |
| Diplomacy | Ambassadors, high commissioners, negotiators and the people behind bilateral and multilateral work. |
| Health & Medicine | Doctors, surgeons, public health administrators, hospital leadership and medical research with named authors. |
| Education & Campus | Vice chancellors, principals, teachers, regulators, admissions, examinations and campus decisions. |
| Science & Innovation | Researchers, laboratories, published work with a DOI, and technology that has left the lab. |
| Defence & Forces | Serving and retired armed forces, paramilitary and police personnel, operations, citations and appointments. |
| Social Impact | Social workers, NGO leaders, activists and community organisers with a measurable outcome. |
| Business & Industry | Business leaders whose decisions change employment, prices, supply or public infrastructure. |
| Honours & Recognition | Padma awards, gallantry awards, national and international honours, with the citation text. |
How we decide something is a story
Every idea is put through six gates before a word is written. The full version is in our Editorial Policy. In short:
- The Impact Gate. Has a named person changed what happens to other people, in a way we can point at? If not, we stop here, whatever else the idea scores.
- The Name Gate. Is there a real, named, identifiable person with a correct current designation?
- The Verb Gate. Did that person do something specific, on a date, that was not true last month?
- The Evidence Gate. Is there a number, order number, citation, filing or document that a reader cannot get from a press release?
- The Reader Gate. Can we name, in one line, the exact reader who should send this to somebody, and why?
- The Source Gate. Can we link three or more primary documents?
An appointment with nothing done yet, a speech at a conference, an award with no citation text and a person described as “an inspiration” all fail. That is deliberate.
The four shapes we publish
| Shape | Length | Minimum sources | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brief | 250 to 600 words | 3 | An order, an appointment, an award, a result, a rescue, a milestone. |
| Story | 900 to 1,400 words | 4 | A decision with consequences, a controversy with documents, a programme with numbers. |
| Profile | 1,200 to 1,800 words | 6, of which 3 primary and at least 1 independent of the subject | One named person, one verified body of work, one thing they changed. This is the house shape. |
| Guide | 2,000 to 2,800 words | 8 | How a system works and who runs it: how Padma awards are decided, how a vice chancellor is appointed. |
On every shape, at least three sources must be primary. A profile with no source independent of the subject is a press release, and we do not publish it.

Editorial independence
Editorial decisions at Peoples Feed are made by the editorial team and nobody else. Advertisers, sponsors, sources, subjects and the owner in his commercial capacity do not decide, approve or pre-review our news coverage.
In practice that means four things:
- No advertiser sees an article before it is published.
- No subject of an article gets copy approval. We check facts with people, which is not the same as letting them edit.
- Sponsored content is labelled as sponsored, at the top, in a way you cannot miss, and it is never written by the reporter who covers that beat.
- Commercial conversations do not enter the newsroom. The firewall is described in full on the Ownership and Funding page.
How we handle mistakes
We get things wrong sometimes. When we do, we say so on the page, we date the change and we keep a public log. We use a four-step ladder: typo, clarification, correction and retraction. Nothing is quietly deleted or silently rewritten. If you have found an error, write to corrections@peoplesfeed.in with the article URL and the specific line. Read the full process in our Public Corrections Policy.
Our use of artificial intelligence
We use AI tools inside our workflow for research assistance, drafting support, transcription, formatting and language checks. Every article published on Peoples Feed is read, verified and approved by a named human editor before it goes live. We never publish unverified AI output. AI does not decide what we cover, does not have a byline and is not a source. The detail is in our Editorial Policy.
