Blitz India: Pioneering development news

Blitz India is the world’s first chronicler of development news. Launched in 2022 by veteran media person Mr Deepak Dwivedi, the news weekly gives sustained coverage to the ideas, policies, programs and activities that deal with the improvement of people’s lives. It provides a fair, accurate, and contextualized picture of today’s India and the world, without hyping the negatives.
Under Mr Dwivedi, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief, Blitz India offers constructive suggestions on what best can be done to ensure that no one is left behind in the development process, as professed in the transformative motto of Agenda 2030 of the United Nations in the form of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by all UN Member States. Blitz India provides an effective platform to channel all efforts in India towards SDGs’ implementation through its social foundation.
The English edition of Blitz India was launched in February 2022 in New Delhi by Mr Amitabh Kant, the then-CEO of Niti Aayog. In September 2022, Blitz India saw the Mumbai launch. Its Hindi edition was started the same year. The launch of the online UK edition of Blitz India in London in June 2023 attracted the who’s who of Britain and India. The speakers included Gopichand Hinduja, Chairperson, Hinduja Group, and Tushar Mehta, Solicitor General of India. Lord Swaraj Paul sent a congratulatory video message.
Blitz India has become a must-read for policymakers, thinkers, and the intelligentsia. Its development journalism has been welcomed by the readers, inspiring editions from all major cities in India and international editions.
The India of the 21st century has given rise to a new kind of politics and a new governance agenda, to shape a new nation. Blitz India acts as a catalyst in this transformational process and lends momentum to it. The weekly directs its efforts towards ‘building a new nation’, as proclaimed in its tagline.
Mr Dwivedi started his three-decade-long journalism career with Blitz, a weekly tabloid with focus on investigative journalism, where he worked closely with the founder Mr R.K. Karanjia.
