Common Challenges

Regional Blind Spots
Key events—such as protests, strikes, or permits—are first reported in local blogs or AV platforms, not national or international outlets.


Regulatory Volatility
Mining approvals, environmental clearances, and court rulings differ sharply across jurisdictions.


Delayed Risk Signals
Labor unrest, environmental violations, or NGO campaigns escalate quickly without early visibility.


ESG Reputation Gaps
Positive initiatives around water conservation, biodiversity, or CSR often go unnoticed due to poor tracking.


Language Barriers
Coverage in regional or foreign languages leads to slow understanding and late reaction.
