About Us

Founders Keya Waghmare and Swarnim Sethi

KEYA WAGHMARE & SWARNIM SETHI

That’s exactly how The Khojbeen came to be; a space where perspectives are fresh, voices are balanced, and news isn’t just read, but felt. For us, journalism isn’t black and white. It’s thoughtful, opinionated, and full of colour.
