This event has passed Get tickets

Event description

Not long ago, small media companies were feeling very left out of the media game to the point that any were dropping out altogether. But Arjun Satya has revived its relevancy with M360 - a turnkey publishing and monetization platform for digital news publishers. M360 helps media companies create content, build an audience and monetize effectively. Incubated inside India's largest digital products company, Times Internet, M360 provides cutting-edge publishing and monetization tools that only large publishers have the resources to build. As a result, M360 is becoming the go-to platform for local small-to-medium news publishers irrespective of language or geography.

Since its official launch in June 2020, M360 is now enabling over 130 small-to-medium digital media organizations in 14 languages, reaching more than 50 million monthly active users. Publishers shifting to M360 have seen a 100% lift in revenues and a 56% decrease in average operating costs. Host Helen Loughlin talks to Arjun Satya about seeing the platform's initial growth and how Google has partnered with M360 in enabling its monetization software through the platform.
