Who are we?
Factly traces its origin to 2014 when founder Rakesh Dubbudu realised that data may not be intimidating to people if it is demystified. In this philosophy, we found our motto—making public data meaningful. This means that we not only explain public data in a way that makes sense to all but also provide the tools that can help people figure out complex data for themselves. Our fact-checking course is an important step in this endeavour, as it helps internet users discern the real from the fake amidst the vast sea of information that is the World Wide Web.
