Creating a News Revolution: The Story Behind PapaNews App

This is the story behind the creation of the PapaNews App: a community-driven news platform. In just two months, we took the app from wireframing to launch, with a unique approach that involved building in public and gathering feedback from the audience every step of the way.

Influencer Sahil Khanna came up with the idea for an audio news app to keep his followers well-informed about current events. He wanted a clean, easy-to-use news app without ads.

PapaNews also allowed people to report local news and events in their own words, with the option to add location, media and text. It was not just a source of news but a community hub where users could connect, share, and engage.

The impact of Papa News? The influencer saw a massive rise in engagement as a result of the 'build in public' approach. He leverage his loyal audience base on the app, and soon after, other influencers in similar niches followed suit and launched their own news apps.

In conclusion, Papa News was not just an app, it was a news movement. A change that put the power of information in the hands of the people and made staying informed a community effort. And we, at The Anantkaal, are proud to have been the drivers of it.
