Datawrapper

Datawrapper is the go-to visualisation tool for data journalism — if you’ve read a data-driven news article from The Hindu, IndiaSpend, or any major publication, the charts were likely made with Datawrapper. It produces clean, accessible, responsive charts, maps, and tables that look professional without requiring design or coding skills. For Indian nonprofits and researchers, the free tier is genuinely useful: unlimited charts, basic map support, and core chart types. The tool handles Indian data well, including Devanagari and other Indian scripts. Particularly good for choropleth maps of Indian states and districts — upload your data, match to built-in administrative boundaries, and publish in minutes. Paid plans add custom themes, team features, and advanced map options.
