R. Shankar

Founding Editor, ZIPNEWS Decoded

R. Shankar is the founding editor of ZIPNEWS and leads the Decoded series — data-driven, multi-source news analysis that presents all sides of a story without editorial bias. Each Decoded article synthesizes 10-20+ verified sources through a rigorous editorial methodology.

With a background in digital media and data journalism, Shankar built ZIPNEWS to address a gap in Indian news coverage: the absence of structured, fact-first analysis that separates signal from noise. The Decoded format was designed to give readers the complete picture — supporters, critics, and the data — so they can form their own conclusions.

Every Decoded article follows a documented editorial process: multi-source research, fact verification across at least two independent sources, balanced perspective presentation, and transparent attribution. Read our full methodology.
