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.

Youth Ki Awaaz, a completely crowdsourced digital media platform, receives over a million readers monthly and close to 30,000 writers from across India and the world.
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.
