About Us

The Head and Tale Media Pvt Ltd

Founded in January 2024 | Based in Delhi

The Head and Tale is an independent fintech and emerging tech news platform that delivers fearless, investigative journalism. We publish deep-dive stories and exclusives that challenge industry narratives and expose what others won’t – free from PR spin, paid influence, or AI-generated fluff.

Our Mission

To shine a spotlight on stories that matter. We believe India’s digital economy deserves reporting that is deep, human, and accountable. Our commitment is to uncover the truth, challenge narratives, and hold powerful institutions accountable through data-driven deep dives and exclusive investigations.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Independent & Unbiased: No advertiser influence. No shortcuts. Our work is guided solely by journalistic rigor and public interest.
  • Investigation-First Approach: We dedicate real time and effort – averaging 3-4 deep-dive stories each month – grounded in documents, data, and source-driven reporting.
  • Fintech & Emerging Tech Expertise: Whether it’s RBI regulations, AI agent failures, startup dysfunction, or policy shifts – we go beyond headlines to unpack what’s happening under the hood.

Expanding Our Focus: AI and Emerging Tech

With artificial intelligence reshaping both finance and society, we’ve extended our coverage to explore critical developments in India’s AI ecosystem, digital infrastructure, and regulatory evolution. Our lens remains investigative and impact-oriented – never hype-driven.
