Ownership & Funding Disclosure – DeshTak.com
1. About DeshTak
DeshTak is a digital news platform that publishes the latest Hindi news, breaking news, analysis, and opinion across politics, governance, economy, crime, sports, entertainment, and other public interest topics. Our goal is to provide accurate, timely, and independent information to Hindi-speaking audiences in India and around the world.
2. Ownership Structure
DeshTak is independently owned and operated by the DeshTak editorial team, a company incorporated under the laws of India and headquartered in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
-
The website deshtak.com, its content, brand assets, and associated digital platforms are the property of DeshTak Media Pvt. Ltd.
-
The board of directors and key management team oversee business operations, technology, and strategy, while editorial decisions are taken independently by the editorial team.
-
No external individual, political party, or organization holds any controlling editorial stake that allows them to dictate or interfere with day‑to‑day news decisions.
(You can customize this section with exact legal name, CIN, registered address, and shareholding if you want more transparency.)
3. Editorial Independence
DeshTak maintains a clear separation between ownership, business interests, and editorial decision‑making.
-
News, analysis, and opinion pieces are selected, edited, and published by the editorial team based on newsworthiness, public interest, and journalistic merit.
-
Advertisers, sponsors, donors, or shareholders do not have the right to preview, approve, or modify our independent news coverage.
-
Where a potential conflict of interest exists (for example, coverage involving a business partner or advertiser), we aim to disclose such relationships to our readers whenever relevant.
4. Sources of Funding
DeshTak’s operations are funded through multiple revenue streams that support our newsroom, technology, and business functions.
Our primary sources of funding include:
-
Display and programmatic advertising: Banner ads, video ads, and other standard ad formats served directly or through third‑party ad networks and exchanges.
-
Sponsored content and brand partnerships: Clearly labeled sponsored articles, features, native content, or advertising campaigns created in collaboration with brands or partners.
-
Affiliate links and referrals (if applicable): In some cases, we may earn a commission when readers purchase products or services via links on our site; such links do not influence our independent editorial coverage.
-
Events, services, and other commercial activities (if applicable): Revenue from events, collaborations, and other media services related to the DeshTak brand.
DeshTak does not accept any funding that is explicitly conditional upon favorable coverage, suppression of critical stories, or promotion of any political agenda.
5. Advertising and Sponsored Content
We believe readers must be able to distinguish clearly between independent editorial content and paid or sponsored material.
-
All advertisements on DeshTak are clearly separated from editorial content by design, labeling, or placement.
-
All sponsored content, branded content, native advertising, and partner features are prominently labeled with terms such as “Sponsored,” “Partner Content,” or “Advertisement” so that readers can easily identify them.
-
Sponsors and advertisers do not control the editorial content that appears outside their clearly labeled sponsored material.
6. Donations and Grants (if you ever accept them)
If DeshTak receives grants, donations, or financial support from institutions, foundations, or individual contributors, we will disclose significant funding publicly in an appropriate manner.
-
Major institutional donors or grant‑making organizations, along with the purpose of such funding, will be listed on this page or a dedicated transparency page when applicable.
-
Donors do not participate in everyday editorial decisions, story selection, or newsroom management.
-
We reserve the right to decline funding that could compromise or reasonably be perceived as compromising our editorial independence.
(If you are not currently taking donations, you can add a line: “At present, DeshTak does not accept public donations or grants.”)
7. Political, Governmental, and Advocacy Funding
DeshTak is an independent news organization and is not owned or controlled by any political party, government body, or advocacy group.
-
We do not accept payments that require us to promote a specific political party, candidate, or governmental agenda in our editorial coverage.
-
Any content produced under government advertising campaigns or public information programs will be clearly labeled as such.
8. Changes in Ownership or Funding
Transparency requires that significant changes in ownership or major funding arrangements be communicated to our readers.
-
If DeshTak experiences a change of controlling ownership, merger, or acquisition, we will update this page and may publish a news or blog post explaining the change.
-
If DeshTak begins to rely substantially on new forms of funding (for example, large institutional grants or membership programs), we will update this disclosure with relevant details.
