In 2026, India's Substack had over 50,000 subscribers,[2] and focuses on issues such as modern womanhood, social media, identity, feminism, mental health, technology and culture.[3][4] She also has written articles as a staff writer for Jonathan Haidt’s Substack After Babel,[5] as well as writing articles for The Spectator, The New Statesman, The Independent, Quillette, and UnHerd.[3][6]
