About Client
Mathrubhumi is one of India’s leading regional media and publishing organizations, serving millions of readers across web and mobile platforms. With extensive coverage spanning news, business, lifestyle, and current affairs, the organization continuously invests in digital innovation to deliver engaging content experiences and strengthen audience loyalty.
Business Challenge
As part of the Google News Initiative (GNI) Audience Growth Program, Mathrubhumi partnered with Google and Tatvic to strengthen audience engagement through data-driven content experiences.
Although the platform attracted significant traffic, many readers exited after consuming a single article, limiting session depth and overall content discovery.
The key challenges included:
- Limited content recirculation after the first article
- Lower views per user and session depth
- No structured mechanism to guide readers toward relevant content
Business Impact
- 41% Growth in Views per Active User
- 38% Increase in Average Session Duration
The Content Recommendation Engine developed by Tatvic under the Google News Initiative Audience Growth program has driven significant gains in user engagement and content discovery. This partnership has elevated our organizational data maturity and fundamentally redefined how we operate.
