Who we Are?

Tomi News is a South Asian digital news platform built on truth, trust, and transparency.

Founded in 2024 by seasoned journalist Rehan Iqbal, Tomi News is home to a multilingual team of reporters committed to covering the stories that matter — not the ones that simply trend. Our editorial room spans across Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, delivering fact-checked news, insightful analysis, and grounded storytelling.
