“YouthKiAwaaz 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,” said Anshul Tewari, founder of YouthKiAwaaz, which claims to be a completely crowdsourced news and media platform.
According to Tewari, YouthKiAwaaz has over a million readers in a month and takes contributions from over 30,000 writers from India as well as the rest of the world.
