Pankaj Mishra, formerly with ET and Mint, along with a few others, is launching a new media platform which is looking to be India's answer to Vice+Atlantic+Verge. Apparently, Accel Partners, which also has interests in Facebook, is funding it. Like several others, they are also in informal talks with the new foundation which is putting money into media. It is Bangalore-based and its financing is Premji-Nilekani led.
