In a media landscape often dominated by press releases, The Head and Tale aims to offer a new model of journalism focused on in-depth research, ground reporting, and holding powerful institutions accountable.
Veteran business journalist Arti Singh has officially announced the launch of her new venture, The Head and Tale, an independent digital news platform to provide coverage of India’s rapidly evolving fintech and emerging tech sectors.
In a media landscape often dominated by press releases, The Head and Tale aims to offer a new model of journalism focused on in-depth research, ground reporting, and holding powerful institutions accountable.
Arti Singh brings over 17 years of experience as a business journalist, with nearly a decade spent closely tracking India’s fintech space. She previously served as deputy editor at Mint and has worked with leading publications such as The Economic Times, VCCircle, and The Morning Context.
“In the rush to chase headlines, nuance often gets lost,” Arti Singh, founder of The Head and Tale, said. “There’s still space and need for journalism that respects its readers’ intelligence. We’re here to serve them, not the algorithm, but to share the full picture, the messy, complex, unfiltered version of it.”

The Head and Tale’s core strengths include its independent and unbiased approach, a commitment to investigation-first reporting with 3-4 deep-dive stories published each month, and specialized expertise in fintech and emerging tech.
The Head and Tale has already built a loyal base of paying subscribers who value clarity over noise. In its first year, the platform has broken critical stories on internal conflicts at major startups, uncovered regulatory developments, and challenged narratives that larger newsrooms were hesitant to touch.
As it enters its second year, The Head and Tale is set to expand its coverage to include artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies, examining their impact on finance and society with the same investigative rigor.
