About Us
Welcome to ppdv.in — a blog built for ordinary Indians navigating the very real challenges of managing money, staying healthy, building a career, and making the most of technology in a world that changes faster than most of us can keep up with.
This is not a blog run by a corporation or written by an algorithm. It is a small, independent publication run by people who have genuinely lived the questions they write about — who have made financial mistakes and learned from them, dealt with health scares that sent them down research rabbit holes at midnight, switched careers more than once, and spent too many hours figuring out why a phone was running slow or why a password manager matters.
If that sounds like someone you would trust to give you honest, practical information — you are in the right place.
Who We Are
ppdv.in was founded in 2026 with a single, simple purpose: to write articles that answer real questions that real Indian people are actually asking — clearly, honestly, and without padding the content with unnecessary words just to fill a page.
Our small editorial team brings together backgrounds in personal finance, public health communication, career counselling, and technology. We are not doctors or registered financial advisors — and we are always transparent about that. When we cover health topics, we follow credible medical sources and include clear disclaimers. When we cover money topics, we present information and perspectives rather than personal investment recommendations. Our job is to give you the knowledge to make your own informed decisions — not to make decisions for you.
Every article on this site is written by a human being who researched the topic carefully, reviewed credible sources, and wrote in plain language designed to be understood — not to impress anyone with jargon or complexity.
What We Write About
Our content covers four areas that touch the daily lives of most Indians:
Personal Finance How to save money on a real Indian salary. How to get out of debt without destroying your credit score. How to understand the difference between an FD and a mutual fund. How to build an emergency fund from zero. How to navigate tax, insurance, and investment decisions that affect your family’s financial security. We write about money for people who were never taught about money — which is most of us.
Health and Wellness Early warning signs of conditions that are common in India but frequently undiagnosed. How to understand what a doctor tells you. What symptoms deserve urgent attention and which ones can wait. How mental health affects physical health and why both deserve to be taken seriously. Every health article on ppdv.in is based on credible sources including ICMR data, NIMHANS research, and globally recognised medical guidelines — and written with genuine care for readers who may be in vulnerable situations.
Education and Career How to prepare for competitive exams while holding a full-time job. How to write a resume that actually gets shortlisted in India’s real hiring environment. How to negotiate a salary without damaging a professional relationship. How to start freelancing with no clients and no portfolio. We write for India’s young, ambitious workforce — for people trying to build something better for themselves and their families, one skill and one opportunity at a time.
Technology and Digital Life How to fix a slow Android phone. How to protect yourself from the online scams costing Indians billions of rupees every year. Which free AI tools are genuinely useful and which are overhyped. How to keep your personal data private. We write about technology for people who use it every day but were never formally trained in it — which is almost everyone.
Why We Started ppdv.in
The honest answer is that we were frustrated.
Frustrated by health articles that buried the useful information under paragraphs of vague, generic advice that could apply to anyone in any country. Frustrated by finance articles that explained investment products without acknowledging the tax implications, the risks, or the fact that most readers are not starting from a position of financial surplus. Frustrated by career advice that assumed everyone works in a corporate office in a metro city and has a mentor who went to IIM.
Most of the people we wanted to write for — the schoolteacher in a tier-2 city who wants to understand whether her savings are working for her, the engineering graduate in his first job who does not know how to negotiate his salary, the young woman whose doctor dismissed her fatigue without ordering a thyroid test — these people deserve content written specifically for them, in language they can understand, that respects their intelligence and their time.
That is what we are trying to build. One article at a time.
Our Editorial Standards
We hold ourselves to clear standards that govern everything we publish:
- We do not publish content we cannot stand behind. If we are uncertain about a claim, we say so — or we leave it out.
- We cite our sources. When we reference data from ICMR, RBI, NIMHANS, or any other institution, we name the source so you can verify it yourself.
- We distinguish between what we know and what we believe. Opinion is labelled as opinion. Factual claims are supported by evidence.
- We update our content when information changes. Outdated medical or financial information is more than unhelpful — it can cause real harm. We take that seriously.
- We include appropriate disclaimers on health and financial content. These are genuine reminders that a blog article is not a substitute for a doctor, a financial advisor, or a lawyer.
- We do not write clickbait headlines. The headline of every article on this site accurately describes what the article contains.
- We do not accept payment to write positive reviews or to recommend specific products. Our content is independent. When we mention a product or service, it is because we genuinely believe it is useful to our readers.
Who Writes for ppdv.in
Our articles are written by a small team of writers with genuine subject matter knowledge and by occasional contributors who bring specific expertise to the topics they cover. Every piece goes through editorial review before publication to ensure accuracy, clarity, and adherence to our content standards.
We do not use automated tools to produce our articles. Every article on this site was written, researched, and edited by human beings who care about the quality of what they publish. The topics we cover affect real people’s health, finances, and lives — and that responsibility is not one we take lightly.
Get in Touch
We genuinely value hearing from our readers. If an article helped you, if you spotted an error, have a question we have not addressed, or want to suggest a topic — we want to know.
You can reach us through our Contact page. We read every message. If you have a correction to suggest on a published article, please include the article title and the specific claim you believe needs reviewing — we take corrections seriously and update content promptly when warranted.
If you are a professional — a doctor, financial planner, career counsellor, or technology specialist — and you are interested in contributing your expertise, we would love to hear from you.
A Final Word
We started this blog because we believe that access to clear, honest, practical information should not depend on who you know, where you went to school, or whether your family happened to include someone who understood these things.
The internet made that access possible. Our job is to make that information worth reading.
Thank you for being here.
