OpIndia is an Indian news portal which claims to be a fact-checking website. It is ideologically oriented towards right-wing populism and has propagated fake news over multiple occasions.
History
OpIndia was founded in 2014 by Rahul Raj and Kumar Kamal as a current affairs and news website. In October 2016, it was acquired by Kovai Media Private Limited, a Coimbatore-based company of T. V. Mohandas Pai, that also owns the right-leaning magazine Swarajya.
Later, it was disassociated from the group and became a separate entity; Nupur J Sharma is the current editor.
