Meet Tech Gup - Bengal's Trusted Voice in Tech News

VMPL
Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], July 29: In an age where digital information is everywhere but true understanding is rare, Tech Gup is emerging as the platform that makes technology truly accessible to the Bengali-speaking world. With a renewed focus on user-friendly storytelling and deep domain coverage, Tech Gup is redefining how tech news reaches readers in West Bengal, across India, and beyond. Whether it's smartphones, gadgets, telecom breakthroughs, or electric vehicle innovations -- Tech Gup is speaking the language of the people, in the language they understand.
Inside Tech Gup: Bengal's Homegrown Digital Tech Voice
Tech Gup is a Bengali-language digital news platform that focuses on technology, smartphones, telecom, and automobiles. It was founded on July 21, 2017, by Shib Pada Mandal and Suman Patra as a small-scale digital initiative with the aim of simplifying tech news for Bengali readers. Over the years, it has grown into one of the most trusted and widely followed regional media brands, attracting over 5 million monthly readers.
Operated under Tech Gup Media Private Limited and headquartered in Namkhana, West Bengal, the platform is now recognized for its clear, impartial, and easy-to-understand tech journalism in the Bengali language.
The Journey Begins
In 2017, the idea of reading tech news in Bengali was still new. Recognizing the digital gap for regional readers, co-founders Shib Pada Mandal and Suman Patra launched Tech Gup with a simple goal: to present technology in a way that anyone could understand, regardless of their background. What started as a passion project quickly gained momentum, thanks to its relatable content and focus on user experience. Today, the platform is powered by a full-time team of over 15 professionals, including writers, editors, SEO experts, and video producers.
Revolutionizing Tech News for the Bengali Audience
Tech Gup's strength lies in its ability to decode the fast-paced tech world and bring it closer to the common reader. Whether it's a flagship smartphone launch, a new Jio data plan, or the latest in EV mobility, the platform explains it all in simple, conversational Bengali. This focus on accessibility has made Tech Gup a household name among tech enthusiasts and first-time digital users alike.
With dedicated coverage of sectors like technology and gadgets, smartphones and mobile reviews, telecom industry updates, and automobiles including electric vehicles, Tech Gup is not just reporting the news -- it's helping readers understand how technology fits into their daily lives.
Setting a New Benchmark in Regional Journalism
In a media ecosystem where many Bengali portals rely heavily on translations or complex terminology, Tech Gup stands apart by creating original, localized, and SEO-optimized content. The website is mobile-friendly, making it easily accessible for readers on the go, and also features short-form videos, explainers, and product reviews tailored for the Bengali-speaking market.
Beyond the written word, Tech Gup is expanding its presence through platforms like YouTube, delivering engaging content via visual storytelling. Their unbiased comparisons, buying guides, and consumer-centric updates have earned the trust of a diverse audience -- from students and professionals to senior citizens looking to navigate the digital age.
Voices Behind the Vision
Speaking about the platform's mission, co-founder Suman Patra said,
"In this digital age, most Bengali portals provide technology news in complicated language. We want to change that. Our main goal is to deliver neutral and comprehensive information in simple language so that ordinary readers can easily understand."
This clarity-first mindset is the backbone of Tech Gup's growing community, not just in West Bengal, but among Bengali speakers across India and globally, especially in Bangladesh, the Gulf, and the UK.
What Lies Ahead
Looking forward, Tech Gup has ambitious plans to enhance its user experience and content delivery. A dedicated mobile app is in development to bring real-time tech news directly to readers' fingertips. The team is also investing in video journalism and planning collaborations with leading tech brands for product testing and early-access reviews. These initiatives are part of Tech Gup's larger vision to become the go-to Bengali platform for everything tech-related.
By combining digital innovation with regional language empowerment, Tech Gup is not only educating its readers but also reshaping how technology is understood, consumed, and appreciated in Bengali.

Officials told to speed-up land acquisition for Polavaram R&R, NH projects

District Collector K. Vetriselvi on Tuesday directed officials to speed up land acquisition works related to the Polavaram Project's R&R packages, national highways, and YSR Jagananna Saswatha Bhoohakku Mariyu Bhooraksha (YSR–JBM) survey units, and also ensure smooth clearance for 4G mobile towers of Airtel, Jio, and BSNL without inconveniencing the public. In a video conference held on Tuesday (August 5, 2025), the Collector reviewed the progress of land acquisition, R&R colony constructions, and 4G tower permissions with mandal and revenue officials. Highlighting the urgency of land needs for Polavaram-related R&R packages, the Collector said that around 5,000 acres are required in the district. While 800 acres have already been identified in Buttayagudem and Jeelugumilli mandals, another 600 acres have recently been marked. She instructed officials to complete the remaining land acquisition by August 15. She emphasised that Gram Sabhas must be held in all concerned villages after identifying land parcels. Officials, including RDOs and DSPs, should participate and engage with farmers transparently during these public hearings. The compensation must be paid strictly as per government norms, and the process should be voluntary and farmer-friendly, she said. The Collector also instructed that targets under the YSR–JBM survey units must be met, and land for national highway development must be handed over quickly. Regarding 4G tower installations, permissions should be granted only after field-level inspection, ensuring minimum public inconvenience and adequate distance from residential areas. Joint Collector P. Dhatri Reddy, ITDA PO Apurva Bharat, Special Collector S. Sarala Vandana, DRO V. Vishweshwara Rao, and other mandal-level officials joined the review virtually.

Tariff war will have worse impact than Covid: Kerala minister Balagopal

Thiruvananthapuram, Aug 5 (PTI) Kerala Finance Minister K N Balagopal on Tuesday warned that the emerging global tariff war, led by the United States, could have a more damaging impact on the economy than the Covid pandemic. Speaking at a seminar on 'Post-Covid Development Challenges and Responses: Kerala through the Lens of State Budgets', organised by the Gulati Institute of Finance and Taxation here, Balagopal said, 'While India is being asked to reduce tariffs on imports, the US is imposing higher duties on our exports. This imbalance will affect the Indian economy." Citing examples, he said India has already reduced import duties on vehicles like Land Rover and Jaguar to 10 percent. At the same time, he alleged, international companies are pressuring India to lower its Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates. 'The state's revenue as a percentage of GSDP grew from 56 percent in 2020-21 to 74.89 percent in 2024-25," he said. Tax and non-tax revenues rose from Rs 54,000 crore in 2021 to Rs 92,000 crore in the last fiscal. Highlighting the government's priorities in recent years, Balagopal said the focus had been on strengthening infrastructure and social security. He termed the commissioning of the Vizhinjam International Seaport a significant achievement and added that the government had invested in enhancing research and development facilities at premier institutions in the state. The minister also criticised the GST regime introduced in 2017, calling the division of tax revenues between the Centre and states 'unjustifiable." 'Covid brought about social, political, and economic disruptions, leading to stagnation. The state is now striving to move forward from that," he added. The United States has slapped a 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods as part of a broad trade measure targeting nearly 70 countries, according to an executive order issued by the White House recently.
