Hey Anangsha, I was pretty bummed out by this news and I was looking for workarounds. It looks like people have gotten around this problem using a combination of Payoneer and Stripe.
Hey Anangsha, that's really sad to hear. But I must caution you that Substack seems to be using Stripe for processing payments too, so shifting from Medium to Substack might not do much good. I was looking into this a little bit and I found that international transactions for Indians are not supported in Stripe for individuals, but they might be possible if you register a sole proprietorship in your name and connect that to Stripe.
I wanted to know what your experience with Substack has been so far. I started a newsletter and asked one of my friends to join, but I'm not able to see any subscribers in my dashboard (including my own email ID!). Also, I used the search bar on the home page to search for "anangsha", and it turned up ZERO results. That's quite pathetic for a search service when your newsletter URL has your name in it. Do you find Substack reliable, or have you faced glitches like this as well?
Sorry for being so presumptuous, but I'm planning to write on Substack as well, and I would love to know what you think of it!

Is this something you are familiar with? Does this approach not work?

Hey, did you succeed in resolving this? I am considering writing on Medium, so it would be helpful to know your current status.
