If you're a writer based in India who'd like to offer paid subscriptions, we've got good news for you: Substack now supports paid subscriptions in India.
As an added bonus, while this feature is in beta, we’re waiving our usual 10% fee (you will still be charged a fee by our payment processor). Please note that our 10% fee will eventually apply once paid subscriptions in India are out of beta, and plan your revenue accordingly. You can keep up-to-date with the latest on our help page.
We can't wait to see what Indian writers will do on Substack! To celebrate this moment, we're highlighting a few Substack publications from Indian writers below.
Neelima Vallangi, Climate Matters
Neelima is a writer, photographer, and storyteller whose mission is to bring more attention to the climate crisis. In addition to original reporting, she's filming a documentary that took her through the Himalayan mountains, a region she specializes in.
