Indian News Platform Vygr that saw its launch mid 2022 is successfully looking at the next step in its journey as it crosses half a million users across its platforms.
The Founder-CEO Ms. Sonam Bhagat introduced Vygr, the uniqueness of its self-sustaining content model, the 1 year journey of the platform from a nascent new entity to a well-known name in user and publisher circles and the USP of the platform being the tapping into India's 85% untapped information content base.
She commented, “Vygr has the potential to become India's big tech and perhaps our contribution to the world in terms of the apt format of information dissemination. India has a population of 135 crore people of which 40% are youth that crave for actionable insights, not just information but information that they can use. Vygr has been created to serve information that is use-worthy and not just newsworthy from across the nation. Raising funds for us to strengthen the AI capabilities of our systems and the capacities of our servers to take in a large number of users is now imperative. But the investors coming in now participate in revenues since we have stress-tested our revenue models for over a year and are now equipped to run an unbiased two-dimensional information ecosystem that can sustain itself.”
Vygr (pronounced as Vigour which stands for the English word meaning Zest for Life and Enthusiasm) was incorporated in August 2022 with a vision to create India's Informational Big tech platform.
With a proprietary content management system that enables the creation, curation and dissemination of News and informational content across 9 platforms simultaneously, Vygr effectively utilises Tech to supercharge human talent.
Vygr currently generates all of its content in-house across 6 different languages - English, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Kannada and Telugu.
The house has 4 content formats live across its platforms primarily its website and app (Live on both iOS and Android) - Video, Text, Images and Audio.
The content team is headed by senior Media industry professional and 2 times Cannes winner Abhishake Das.
The business is revenue generating and hit breakeven in October 2023 making it one of the few self-sustaining media outlets in the country with a vintage of a little over a year.
