YourStory and sister platforms, HerStory, SocialStory, YS TV, YS Research and YS Pages have reached 60 million engaged readers. YourStory has been the most prominent startup ecosystem builder in India, hosting over 220 events across YS Meetups, TechSparks, MobileSparks and SheSparks.

YourStory is taking its boldest step yet as it embarks on its mission to reach out to the over 500 million Indians who will be online in 2017. This October YourStory will unveil India’s first tech product that will publish original stories in Indian languages. Even as the flagship English platform YourStory.com continues to grow rapidly, YourStory’s team will create original content in Indian languages starting with Hindi, Telugu, Bangla, Kannada, Tamil and Marathi.
YourStory strongly believes in the democratisation of content and will give every Indian the power to tell their stories in their own language. Millions of Indians can narrate their stories through text, voice or video. To get an invite to access the new vernacular platform, register at india.yourstory.com.
