eShe was launched in July 2017 as an independent, international women’s magazine and blog. The print edition of eShe was published from July 2017 to July 2021 as a monthly magazine (archive). Since the Covid pandemic, the editorial platform has gone 100 percent digital, expanding into a monthly newsletter, blog, social media, syndication service, and a podcast channel, with operations in India, USA, Canada and Belgium.
eShe is the internet-oriented English way of writing इशी – which is another name for Goddess Durga. Founded by New Delhi-based journalist and editor Aekta Kapoor, eShe looks at the world through ‘the female gaze’, and through the lives of women, their joys and challenges.
The idea is to create a quieter, more meaningful kind of media, which highlights the courage and resilience of South Asian women, the unsung heroes among us. These are stories that would not find their way to mainstream media. These are stories that need to be told in these divisive times, so that we are reminded of our common humanity, so that we put differences aside and focus on what unites us.

eShe features a diverse array of stories that focus on women’s empowerment, resilience, and shared human experiences. The editorial platform aims to amplify women’s voices and celebrate their journeys through various forms of storytelling.
It is ranked among the top women’s magazines in the world and best Indian women’s blogs by content aggregator Feedspot.
