NDTV’s partnership with Google, focusing on real-time data insights to refine its content strategy, has led to 24 per cent new user growth.

Recognizing the limitations of traditional engagement measurement tools, NDTV developed a data-driven framework aimed at improving the quality and engagement of its published content. This collaboration led to the implementation of a machine learning-based process that allowed NDTV to accurately identify high-performing articles and those needing refinement. By leveraging real-time insights, editors could strategically focus on topics and formats that garnered the highest viewership, optimizing the content strategy to meet audience demands more effectively.

Within the first quarter of deploying this framework, NDTV witnessed substantial growth. New User Growth increased by 24 percent, Page Views moved up by 12 percent, Average Session Duration extended significantly and Bounce Rate improved by 3.7 percent. These metrics underscore the success of NDTV’s new strategy in attracting and retaining a larger audience, marking a significant milestone in its digital transformation journey.

Senthil Chengalvarayan, Executive Director of NDTV, stated, “NDTV is synonymous with trust and excellence in journalism. Our dedication to outstanding content is unwavering. To further enhance our standards, our editorial teams developed a cutting-edge Newsroom Quality Index. Leveraging Google products and other databases, this tool provides near real-time insights, enabling us to continually refine and optimize our articles for greater impact and audience engagement.”
