OpIndia is an Indian news portal which claims to be a fact-checking website. It is ideologically oriented towards right-wing populism.
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 that also owns the right-leaning magazine Swarajya.
In May 2019, the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), an affiliate of the acclaimed Poynter Institute rejected OpIndia's application to be accredited as a fact-checker; among a variety of reasons, it noted political partisanism, poor fact-checking methodologies and general polemic commentary, accompanying their news-pieces as significant contributors towards the rejection.
