Who are we

AFT Media is beyond just another content curating platform. We started our journey back in September 2020, amidst the pandemic, at a time when the world was going through massive disruptions that we considered as an opportunity. We thrive to become the voice and reflection of different domains of economy and society at large, through our high-value content.

We are a new-age content platform focusing on the world of Automobiles, Energy, Finance & Economy, Health Care, Technology, and various other social issues that directly or indirectly impact the economy; catering to both B2C and B2B segments.

We welcome our readers in an open forum to share and discuss their comprehensive and unbiased honest reviews about automobiles, consumer gadgets, services, etc. This ensures an indisputably unbiased and credible point of view, directly from the owners/users of the respective products and services.

We long to be an informative resource for the stakeholders of the above-mentioned sectors with regular stories and expert insights. We thrive to be bigger and better with every passing day. Let’s grow together!

Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much! We respect every individual effort of our contributors.
