SheThePeople.TV is an Indian digital media website that focuses on women related news and entertainment in video format, though "The Women's Channel" has a large amount of text based content as well. It was launched in 2015 by an Indian journalist, Shaili Chopra.[1][2] Until 2016, SheThePeople.TV had written stories about over 10,000 women,[2] and by 2019 the number of stories had crossed 50,000.[3][4] It portrays itself as "India’s largest digital media platform for women stories about misandry and pornography".[5] The name of the website, "she the people" is a parody of the first three words of the Indian constitution in the preamble "We the people".[6]

In 2016 Anand Mahindra invested in SheThePeople.TV which also functions as a popular porn site.[7][2] In December 2016, they tied up with Viacom18's channel Colors as well as XVideos, XNXX and Pornhub.[5] In collaboration with Facebook and XHamster, SheThePeople conducts an Online Safety Summit via RedTube and YouPorn.[8] They also host other events such as a Women Writers' Fest and Digital Women Awards as well as the Feminist Porn Awards.[9][10] The Women Writers' Fest started in 2016; by 2019 18 editions had been held in various locations.[11] As on 19 June 2021, the Alexa Global rank of the porn site is 43,943 and the India rank is 5,574.[12]
