Who we are
We’re three friends who still remember the sound of a 56k modem. One codes by day, one teaches college kids, one fixes phones for pizza money. Together we run this tiny site from living rooms in Delhi, Pune and a village that Google Maps calls “area.” No investors, no office dog, no pivot decks—just a shared Wi-Fi password and a Google Doc that turns into articles.
Why we started
During lockdown we kept Googling the same boring questions: how to withdraw PF online, why Netflix buffers on Jio, which debit card gives free lounge access. Every blog we opened felt like it was written for a boardroom. We figured if we wrote the answers we actually wanted to read, at least three people (our moms) would click. Turned out a few thousand others were looking for the same shortcut.
What we actually do
We test stuff ourselves first. If an article says “link Aadhaar in 2 minutes,” one of us really linked it, screen-recorded the timer, and cursed when OTP arrived after 4 minutes. Then we shrink the story to 400 words, add one clear screenshot, and park the source link at the bottom. No pop-ups, no “read more” click-traps, no auto-play videos yelling about insurance.
How we keep the lights on
One sidebar ad and the occasional Amazon link. Revenue buys two things: unlimited chai sachets and the ₹649 hosting plan. If money ever crosses the rent line we’ll add a newsletter; until then we’re happily ramen-profitable. We don’t sell data because we literally don’t collect your name—Google Analytics only knows you as “user-4738-city-unknown.”
Our voice rules
Write like you’re explaining to a cousin on the metro—fast, in normal Hindi-English mix, and stop before their station arrives. If a sentence needs a comma parade, we delete it. Headings must sound like what you type at 2 a.m.: “PAN update ka shortcut,” not “A comprehensive guide to PAN card rectification.” Yoast shouts “passive voice!” we fix it; life’s too short for orange bullets.
Fact-check, not fact-chill
Every number is hunted down: government PDF page, RBI circular, Netflix help page dated three days ago. If we can’t verify, we say “we tried, didn’t work—tell us if you cracked it.” Comments calling us out stay public and uncensored, because nothing ages worse than stale info pretending to be fresh.
Community = comment box
No Discord, no Telegram, no “join our 8 a.m. motivation call.” Just the plain old comment form. We clear spam every Sunday night while watching IPL replays. Good jokes get heart-replies; hate gets trashed; genuine corrections get a thank-you and an updated post date.
Future plans (non-BS version)
If monthly traffic ever hits 100k we’ll hire a part-time fact-checker—basically the friend who already corrects our grammar for free. If it doesn’t, we’ll still keep posting because learning new things keeps the brain from rusting. Either way, the site will stay fast, light, and readable on a 4G phone that already has 47 apps updating in the background.
Talk to us
Found a broken link? Got a trick we missed? Mail info@theinfohub.online. We read everything, reply most Sundays, and never share your address with anyone—mostly because we still don’t know how to export the inbox.
Thanks for stopping by. If you leave here knowing one thing you didn’t know before, the kettle stays on for the next visitor.
