Can you give some indicative figure about the "competitive remuneration?"

Hi, thanks for your query but it really does depend on the quality and the quantity of the contributions. We would probably start out with a set number of Rupees per word, and the pay will be competitive with freelance journalism rates in India, but again those depend heavily on experience.

If you are interested, please do send us an application and I will be able to give you a better indication.
