BOOM Live is an independent digital journalism initiative that aims to fight misinformation and make the internet a safer place. As one of India's first and leading fact-checking websites, BOOM is committed to providing readers with journalistically verified facts. It is certified by the International Fact Checking Network (IFCN) and was the first newsroom from India to partner with Facebook on its Third Party Fact Checking Programme in 2018.

BOOM is available in three languages - English, Hindi, and Bengali - and operates in three countries: India, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. In addition to fact-checking, BOOM runs a media literacy arm called Mediabuddhi. The dedicated team at BOOM includes subject experts from various fields, such as health, law, data analytics, and foreign policy.

They actively fact-check a wide range of subjects, including politics, business, social issues, health, medicine, brands, products, and services. By expanding its presence and partnering with social platforms, BOOM reaches a wider audience and provides valuable insights through explainers and fact-check videos. You can also connect with BOOM on Twitter (@boomlive_in) and through their WhatsApp helpline (+91 7700906588).

BOOM has been tirelessly working since 2014 and is a part of Outcue Media Pvt Ltd, headquartered in Mumbai, India. It is a for-profit entity that generates income through social platforms, contract work, media literacy initiatives, and content creation contracts.
