We have made significant investments in content + technology to provide an engaging and secure experience at the product end, while also protecting the digital expansion from Cookie Fadeout through the use of the DMP.”

The algorithm change aimed at making the news ecosystem more expert driven, authoritative and trust based, as well as post UP election traffic, were the two big reasons for this drop. Eight out of top 10 News and Information companies witnessed a sharp annual decline. Thanks to our audience-first strategy, wherein we have different products for different audience segments, which helped Jagran New Media witness growth. In all, we are gearing up for the next billion users by way of a scalable and sustainable business model.”
