In a major recognition for Indian medical journalism, Medical Dialogues has been chosen as a winner of the JournalismAI Innovation Challenge. The platform stated that it is the only publisher from India to receive this honour.
The JournalismAI Innovation Challenge is a programme that supports projects from news publishers worldwide to promote AI fluency and innovation. According to the platform, 373 global publishers had applied for the competition. Last year, the organisers announced the 2025 cohort, which included 12 publishers, among them Medical Dialogues.
In an official press release, Medical Dialogues confirmed that it emerged as a key recipient of the challenge. Meghna A Singhania, Editor-in-Chief of Medical Dialogues, said the initiative encourages publishers to explore AI-driven solutions to improve reader engagement, revenue growth, and overall business outcomes. With this win, the platform will receive support to enhance its systems and deliver “high-quality, reliable medical journalism to professionals and readers,” she said.
“We are truly honoured to be the only Indian news portal selected for this remarkable challenge. This recognition underscores our ongoing commitment to using innovation and AI to transform medical journalism. We look forward to representing India on the global stage and leveraging this opportunity to create even more impactful content for our readers,” Singhania added.
Although the exact grant amount was not disclosed, the organisation stated that the funding will be used to upgrade user experience, improve content relevance, and strengthen audience engagement.
“We are excited about the opportunity to enhance our capabilities and deepen the impact of our work in the medical journalism space. This milestone is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team and the invaluable trust of our audience,” said Dr Prem Aggarwal, Chairman of Medical Dialogues.
