The Last 24 is an automated news brief covering everything that mattered in India in the last 24 hours — National, World, Business & Markets, Technology, Sports and Entertainment — refreshed every hour.
Founded by Pankaj Kumar. A brand and marketing strategist who built The Last 24 around one belief: staying informed shouldn't take an hour of doomscrolling.
Every hour, our engine scans headlines from established Indian and international newsrooms, keeps only stories from our verified-publisher list, and produces a structured brief for each: what happened, the context, why it matters to you, and what to watch next. Every story names and links its original source — always.
We only carry stories reported by established publishers — including PTI, Reuters, The Hindu, The Indian Express, The Economic Times, Mint, Hindustan Times, NDTV, Business Standard, Moneycontrol, ESPNcricinfo and other recognised newsrooms. We are a curation and summary layer: the reporting, and the credit, belong to them. If a story isn't from a verified publisher, it doesn't run here.
We don't do anonymous sourcing, forwarded-as-received content, or outrage bait. If you ever spot an error in one of our summaries, tell us via the contact page and we'll correct it fast.
