The hidden industrial machine behind everyday India.
Vayam — Sanskrit for “we” — explains how India’s government-shaped industries actually work, starting from the things you already touch.
Every Vayam piece starts with something you already know — the price at the petrol pump, the glitter in your eyeshadow, the QR code at a chai stall — and cracks it open to show the industrial system underneath. Then it lands on one fact you will not be able to unhear, and one line worth sending to a friend.
What we cover
Ten desks, one for each industry where the government still plays a major role: Power & Energy · Petroleum & Gas · Coal, Mining & Minerals · Defence & Aerospace · Transport & Logistics · Steel & Manufacturing · Civilian Infrastructure · Space Tech · AI & Data Centers · Quantum Computing. Company stories are in when the company sits in one of those industries. A desk opens when its first story is ready.
Each story is filed under one of four doors, so you can walk in through the question you already have: Discovery (how does it work?), Community (who lives next to it?), Venture (where is the money going?) and Dialogue (who said what, on the record?).
What we are not
Not government or company PR. Not a feed of India’s problems. Not a startup channel in an industrial coat. Not nostalgia. We are proud of what India builds and clear about who pays for it.
How it reaches you
The long version lives here. The short version — the reveal in sixty seconds — is on Instagram @vayam.press, and the films are on YouTube @VayamIndia.
Who publishes Vayam
Vayam is published by Recurr, a media company in Bengaluru. Most pieces are signed by a desk pen-name rather than a person — read why, and how we check every figure.
