SimpliCity — Coimbatore's Largest and Most Trusted Real-Time Hyperlocal News Platform

SimpliCity is a vision brought to light over 2,000 years ago by the poet Kaniyan Poongundranaar, in his verse from the Puranaanuru: "யாதும் ஊரே யாவரும் கேளிர்" — every city is our own, and all its citizens are our kin. It was a democratic vision millennia ahead of its time.

To make every city our own — to know what's happening in it, in depth and instantaneously — takes a top-class tech-media platform: one that informs, connects, and engages people in real time with news they can trust.

That's SimpliCity. Built by a dedicated team of journalists on the ground in Coimbatore, we cover the news that matters to the city — breaking news, government notifications, civic updates, water and traffic status, education, sports, farming, health, and more — alongside the city's largest local events platform, a free job portal, and original video and photo-story coverage of the people, places, and moments that make the city what it is.

SimpliCity currently reports news from Coimbatore, Pollachi, Valparai, Tiruppur, Dharapuram, and Udumalpettai, in English and Tamil.

SimpliCity was first officially launched on July 7, 2016, in Coimbatore.
