Youth Ki Awaaz (YKA), a media platform for the youth, has raised 4 crore rupees in funding from Quintillion Media, a diversified digital content platform, which publishes The Quint.

YKA was founded by Anshul Tewari seven years ago and has since gone to become one of India’s most popular user-generated sites.

YKA is a completely people-driven digital media platform. With veterans like Raghav Bahl and Ritu Kapur on board as partners, we feel both privileged and excited to start a new and even more adventurous phase in pushing this generation’s opinions to the front. The capital will be invested in expanding our team, tech and business model.

We were impressed by the idea conceived by Anshul and the team in creating YOUTHKIAWAAZ. In a short period of time, they have managed to carve a niche for themselves in the digital media space. We find their content to be high on both appeal as well as quality, which is a fine balance to strike.
