NewsBytes is an AI-driven digital media startup that uses its YANTRA engine to create concise news items with almost zero human intervention. YANTRA has multilingual capabilities and automates factual content across categories from consumer technology to financial markets. The company says the engine reduces costs while enabling scale and is intended to support journalists rather than replace work that requires human empathy. NewsBytes plans to license YANTRA beyond media houses to other companies that require factual content and is developing additional AI products. The company will deploy the new funding to augment its technology, expand its audience, and develop new technologies to serve new clients. NewsBytes is Gurugram-based, was founded in 2015, and its B2C vertical saw about 13 million monthly unique users over the last 3–4 months.
