Clear Cut is an independent print magazine with a growing digital presence, created by a group of professionals from India’s social development sector.
Born out of a shared frustration with superficial narratives and overlooked issues, Clear Cut offers space for voices that speak with clarity, empathy, and conviction. We spotlight the social realities that rarely make headlines — from mental health and gender equity to grassroots leadership, public systems, and the everyday work of building a just society.
Each edition is built around a theme and features original contributions from researchers, development practitioners, storytellers, and lived-experience experts.
In a time of noise and polarization, Clear Cut is committed to slow journalism — thoughtful, inclusive, and rooted in purpose.
We believe that real change begins with clear and courageous conversations.
Clear Cut. Conversations nudging social change.
