Tehelka News & Views Portal in Hindi
Tehelka Hindi is my first design project for a Hindi website and it feels great to know that it’s being appreciated across the industry. Launched in October, Tehelka Hindi has already secured a respectable place for itself in the Hindi reading community on the web.
The i4d magazine showcased the newly launched site in their October-2007 issue, praising Tehelka’s attempt to introduce a whole new set of readers to investigative journalism.

However the site is doing much more than expanding the outreach of the hard-hitting content from the Tehelka magazine. There are regular columns by veterans of Hindi literature such as Prabhash Joshi, Ashok Chkradhar, Aalok Pauranik, Prasoon Joshi and Anupam Mishra. The site also promotes fresh talent and provides a window for the lighter side of our crew’s literary ingenuity.
Working behind the scenes for the site is a small yet power packed team of three musketeers - Sanjay Dubey, Atul Chaurasia, and Vikas Bahuguna; supported by Vijay Vardhan, the programmer, me the designer, and the invaluable impetus from Tehelka magazine’s editorial. I think it’s commendable that this bare-minimum system is churning out fresh content almost daily.
Zeal and effort is being met with constant lauding; a popular blog “Visfot” recently contrasted our site with NDTV’s newly launched beta version of “Khabar” stating that that Tehelka Hindi’s presentation is far ahead and much more appealing.
My objective was to design an elegant and contemporary look to go with the feel of Hindi fonts and so far the feedback that I’ve received has resonated with my target.
