Reading Right- an ed-tech startup that conducts research-based/critical news learning programs and is India’s first organisation in the field of explanatory journalism. In a world of media illiteracy,
the value add from news learning has lost its meaning and implication while we
are here to change it. Our objective is not just to see that the masses read news
articles but it is to ensure that they read quality content about the world and
leverage it to build solutions to complex problems across all realms. We intend to
culminate the education commenced by institutions. We believe and quite
strongly that a whole new relevant system of education can be carved from news
articles across platforms. Just like the traditional curriculum the news curriculum
too seeks formal help in selecting, understanding & utilising the reading material;
And we are here to provide precisely that- only in a manner that is way more:
✓ Faster- with crisp, to the point explanations & information to be learnt
within minutes.
✓ Relatable- with the support of animated infographic videos for every piece
of content explained in writing.
✓ Understandable- With explanations from those who actually understand.
✓ Accessible-with the use of a clean, easy to access app.
✓ Engaging- With games that enable assuming of real world job roles.
Who we seek in our team?
Our team comprises of individuals from only the top institutions in the country &
outside, across various fields. We recruit people from various backgrounds as we
believe that quality explanation of articles can be done when analysed by niche
domain experts from each background and not just well read individuals from
other backgrounds which means an engineer no matter how well read will not be
our ideal pick for law/economics articles but instead will be ideal for technology
articles. Thus we are absolutely careful to seek and pick people who are not just
among the best in their domain but are ardent readers. Now, one might
categorise ardent reading to be about 2-3 newspapers daily. Well, what we imply
by ardent reading is noetic, wide and deep reading. We are looking for smart-
curious cats who go far and beyond their books of curriculum to study about their
domain in a setting that is real and not historic. Candidates from the law domain
will be ideal if they are from among the best law schools and are voracious
readers of newspapers, periodicals, journals & scholar written articles in streams

that are legal or related (Indian politics, World politics, Policy, Civics, Law & Order
etc). Similarly a finance candidate will be ideal if they read non fiction books,
periodicals, journals, scholar written articles, Indian & international newspapers
etc. on topics pertaining to Finance/Economics & those related.
Likewise an individual working with business articles must have hands on
knowledge on various industries, their operations, their financing, their marketing
and everything that there is to know by a typical CEO from that industry. Let’s
just say we would settle for top notch consultants or investment bankers with a
lot of experience across projects in various industries to fill in the business
domain.
Job Description
Content researcher typically works in the outlined manner.
1.They first select articles from a wide range of reading material (National &
International- newspapers, periodicals, journals, scholar written articles) for
the user base to read. In order to meet the selection criteria the content
researchers are required to read a large number of articles. We get you access
to all sources, any source-worldwide.
2.They then provide simple basic explanations as per the formats provided.
These explanations are developed individually or in a team with experts from
other relevant fields. For example: If an article is pertaining to tax laws, the
team will not just have someone from the law background but also a tax expert
and a macroeconomy expert among others. Moreover every team has a
support from industry stalwarts who consult with the team from time to time
should they get stuck.
3. The next step is to draft an analysis of the article topic. This is based on our
learning pedagogy and crafted modules. This identifies learning values from each
article/topic. It is pretty much like doing a case study approach with real world
policies, programs, situations or settings.
What are the skills we look for in you?
First up you must be a voracious reader. Been reading newspapers/periodicals/
journals/ scholar written articles all your life, or better-put love gorging news
articles or any non fiction subject matter material.
We do not believe in jack of all trades master of none, so you must tell us your
expert domain/ domains (Based on education/experience)- such as: Indian
politics/ World politics/ Business news/ Economy news/ Sports (don't forget
everything is technical) /Science & technology/ Finance etc.
Second up, you must be exceptionally impressive with your writing and language
skills. Now, this does not mean that we need prolix writing, we need simplified
but good writing. All that is needed is for you is to be able to think clearly, have
strong conceptual fundamentals that you can put into words without making it
confusing and yet making it an engaging explanation.
Third and most important is that you have to be technically/fundamentally sound.
Which means every article you read must be backed up by technical know-how
received from your education or experience. So if you are working with
economics articles, you are mandated to be/have been an Economics Hons.
student/ masters in economics student. Likewise an individual working with
politics articles must have an education in policy/law. If you select an article on
startups, you must be very comfortable with the technical terms and backdrop of
the startup industry and the extended industries like venture capital etc while
having your education in business.
Fourth and last, you must be good with analysing (case study approach) articles
to provide perspectives to our readers. ( Secret tip: This could be your deal
cracker) We will be there to guide you every step of the way but we believe a
good researcher with a mind to think and an earnest interest to reach the roots
can make an excellent analyser.
What do you get by working with us?
Material to read and deadlines. Just kidding.
First of all you get an opportunity to work with the best brains from all fields as
you brainstorm the learning values from each quality article selected. So simply
put if you are a business student who knows the technology industry well and are
working with an article in the technology field, you will be mapped to a
technology expert (who understands the tech part of things and is working in the
field), a legal technology expert (a lawyer expert in technology related law), etc.
based on the realms of the article/topic.
Along with this you also get to receive consultation from industry stalwarts
whenever necessary. Your new teachers are those who work in the industry and
are experienced over years.
Second- we are paying you to read and paying for all that you want to read. The
money may not be relevant here, but what is, is the fact that there is an external
reason for you to read some real noetic material. With all that reading by you,
attention will have its seat reserved right next.
Third, you get an internship certificate at the end of the 6-month internship along
with consideration for full-time roles (based on work performance). We are an
early-stage startup looking for leaders to join us in this effort and we will most
definitely give you opportunities to experience rotational roles while offering
leadership positions.
Finally, you will have built a network of people (beyond their knowledge), who we
guarantee, are exceptional and smart. They are ranging from every possible field
and trust us when we say they are the best there is.
Now, If you are looking for an unprecedented experience and journey then you
know what to do! But do not forget it all starts with reading right!
What If you already have a job/internship?
No problem, because honestly we do not care what you do as long as you can
keep up with our work and keep up well. This is by all means a freelance
position. That being said, we are damn serious about our work and when you
become our team we hope you will keep things that way. To tell you honestly, we
will not have it any other way!
How many hours do you have to work?
We will have a minimum requirement of work but beyond that we will leave it to
your judgement, well after all its your time to make the most out of an
opportunity, not ours!
Are you going to have fun?
If you haven’t understood that our product is one of its kind and a classic one
that is about to change the shape of India’s education then either you do not
know about our product (app & its features) or you do not know about it. So find
out about the Reading Right app. But to answer the question for now, fun is an
understatement, you are about to change the rules of the game, it doesn’t get
any better!
