Market Overview

People everywhere seek to stay informed about the world, whether to feel connected to a larger community, stay relevant in their decision-making, or contribute meaningfully to conversations. For much of modern history, news consumption has been dominated by established media outlets like the Times of India, Deccan Herald, The Hindu, and The New York Times, largely due to the enduring presence of the printing press.

Impact of Traditional News Publications:

The onset of digitalized modes of news consumption has given birth to 2 types of News providers

  1. Proprietary News apps: The Times of India, Financial Express, and NY Times have their apps
  2. News Aggregator Apps: Google News, Inshorts, Flipboard

Understanding the Problems:

Google News is directly competing with Inshorts, Times of India, and others, which outdo some of the major features impacting their recurring reader base.
