Akshansh Yadav — CEO
Traditional media companies struggle with digital transformation. I help them not just survive, but dominate in the digital landscape. 10 years. 5 industries. One focus: building digital experiences people actually want. My Background: B.Tech in Computer Science from Rajasthan Technical University. Cracked CAT at 99.2%ile but chose MICA over IIM because digital marketing felt like the future. Later pursued Machine Learning from Harvard to stay ahead of AI trends. That unconventional choice paid off. Career Path: ● ABP News: Launched their App and Asmita News channel in India ● Zee Media: Led Z5's (OTT platform) go-to-market strategy ● CarDekho (Jakarta): Launched Oto.com, Indonesia's car marketplace replica ● Canara HSBC (Singapore & India): Launched their digital business in India and built connected devices ● ITV Network: Now leading as CEO Digital Current Role: Leading digital strategy for India's fastest-growing media network, generating 50 Million USD annually. ● 91+ million daily users across 6 major brands (NewsX | India News | The Daily Guardian | NewsX World | Inkhabar) ● Complete digital transformations (WION app success story with massive engagement boost) ● Rebuilt DNA's digital presence from ground up ● AI-powered content personalization strategies What Excites Me Most: The intersection of AI and media. How do we use technology to enhance storytelling without losing the human touch? I invest in startups solving real problems and love mentoring founders who think differently. Always up for conversations about media innovation, startup growth, or just exchanging notes on building things people actually use.
