The video is the summary. The research is the proof.

Recent Data is an independent publication. Posts go up on YouTube and Instagram first; this site exists for the receipts — the gazette notifications, the data tables, the primary documents that don't fit inside a 14-minute video or a 7-slide carousel.

What we cover

Indian economic policy, public health data, regulatory shifts, and stories where the source document is more interesting than the headline. We follow the Gazette of India, RBI press releases, IMD bulletins, Supreme Court orders, and parliamentary disclosures.

Who runs it

Edited by Manish Sharma. The publication is solo-run — one person reads the source documents, makes the video, and writes the research notes you see on each page. No newsroom, no sponsors, no ad network.

Why this exists

Short-form video is good at explaining what happened. It's worse at letting you check the work. Recent Data closes that loop — every published post has a permanent page here with every source linked and every dataset available to download.
