The Story Mug is a Guwahati-based digital storytelling platform that documents stories from Northeast India and beyond. Founded as an idea in 2010 and launched as a website in 2018, the platform aims to highlight voices, perspectives, and narratives that often remain unnoticed in mainstream conversations.
At its core, The Story Mug believes that every society is shaped by countless stories — some extraordinary and some rooted in everyday life.
Through reportage, opinion pieces, interviews, photography, and feature stories, the platform attempts to bring these narratives to a wider audience.
Unlike much of contemporary media that thrives on sensationalism and outrage, The Story Mug seeks to present stories with context, reflection, and balance. The platform focuses on people, culture, society, and the changing realities of the Northeast and India.
Over the years, The Story Mug has published a wide range of content covering social issues, culture, entertainment, literature, travel, environment, and conversations with individuals who are making a difference in their communities.
The Story Mug welcomes collaborations with writers, photographers, and storytellers who believe in thoughtful journalism and meaningful narratives.
