About सूत्रधार

In Sanskrit theatre, the sutradhar is the narrator — the one who holds the threads of the story and weaves them into one narrative. This site does exactly that for Indian engineering writing.

Why this exists

India's best product companies publish world-class engineering writing — scaling UPI to billions of requests, running cricket's biggest live streams, building recommendation systems for hundreds of millions of users. But it's scattered across a dozen platforms and publications, and global aggregators barely cover it. Sutradhar gathers all of it into one live thread: 1017 stories from 22 sources so far.

How it works

• An open-source pipeline fetches every source's feed about once an hour.
• New articles are normalized, de-duplicated by canonical URL, tagged into topics and committed to a public dataset.
• The site rebuilds only when something changed — near-real-time freshness, zero human effort.
• Every story links to the original article on the publisher's site. We never republish full text — only short excerpts with attribution.

Editorial policy

Sutradhar links out, always. Excerpts are kept short (a few sentences), every card names its source, and full text lives only on the publisher's own site. Sources that stop publishing stay listed, flagged as dormant. Global companies with substantial India-based engineering teams are marked india-linked.
