Zinedabaad Collective is an India-based publication which sends out zines to subscribers. While they don’t send physical zines, the reader can print and bind these magazines themselves. They have different issues with number 4 (Dissent) being their most recent publication. Beyond this, they try to engage the Indian zine-making community by providing a platform for zine-makers to send their works. They also host workshops, and have a regularly updated list of zine-makers from around the globe.
