Outlet profile

Karmactive

Indian-based climate and environment news site with a general news mix; no clear partisan lean found

Owned byNot clearly disclosed. Listings describe it as a small private internet news company headquartered in Mumbai, India. I could not verify who owns it or who founded it. Sources give 2016 (LinkedIn-type listings) and 2022 (Crunchbase) as the founding year.

FundingNot disclosed on the pages I could access. It appears to be a small independent web publisher, likely supported by online advertising. It also accepts outside contributions (it has a 'Contribute' page). I could not confirm any specific revenue source, investor or donor.

On the administrationmostly neutral

Background

Karmactive describes itself as a news outlet that delivers 'eye-opening stories and game-changing solutions' on the climate crisis, with core values of ethics, creativity and a sustainable future. Business listings place it in Mumbai, India, but disagree on its founding date: one says 2016 and Crunchbase says 2022. I could not find the owner, founders or an editorial board, and I could not open its About page directly, so this profile rests on search results and headlines. Its coverage has widened beyond environmental topics to include weather alerts in Indian cities, wildfires, typhoons, Middle East aviation news and U.S. politics. Its Donald Trump tag covers items such as the suspension of the National Climate Assessment, the dismissal of hundreds of scientists, and Trump approving FEMA emergency aid for Guam. The headlines read as straightforward reporting rather than opinion, though its stated climate-action mission suggests an environmental-advocacy perspective. It is not related to the Kerala-based Karma News, which has faced extortion allegations. I found no independent media-bias rating, fact-check record or notable controversy for Karmactive. Readers should treat its sourcing and ownership as unverified.
