FactorDaily is a newly formed Indian digital media startup building a consumer tech publication that covers technology's intersection with everyday life. The editorial focus is split into four areas: India’s most influential tech companies, how technology affects modern life, lifestyle and gadgets, and future disruption. The team of about 10 is led by CEO/editor-in-chief Pankaj Mishra and managing editor Jayadevan PK, with Titash Neogi as CTO and Josey John as consulting editor. Video is a major editorial priority, and the startup publishes on platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn and Medium while hosting long-form immersive features on Factordaily.com. Product plans include a Facebook Messenger bot that could handle micro-transactions in the future. The company raised $1 million to kick-start operations, and that funding is estimated to last at least two years. Initially monetization is not the priority, though the team is exploring branded content, events and partial-paywalls as revenue options.
