Aaj Tak has announced the launch of VPaper, a next generation ePaper developed in collaboration with Dailyhunt. Designed for digital-first audiences, VPaper blends the credibility of print journalism with the immediacy and engagement of video-led storytelling.
VPaper is a 12-page, comprehensive ePaper that reaches readers early in the morning-well before traditional newspapers are delivered. Available free of cost, the platform aims to make credible, high-quality journalism more accessible to audiences across India. The ePaper covers a wide range of categories including national news, business, sports, education, travel, and more, offering a well-rounded start to the day.
What truly sets VPaper apart is its integrated video functionality. Readers can click on selected stories and instantly watch related video content, seamlessly combining Aaj Tak’s television reportage with the familiar structure of a newspaper. This “click-to-watch” feature transforms news consumption into an interactive, multimedia experience.
Backed by Aaj Tak’s strong editorial legacy and on-ground reporting, the initiative gains further scale through Dailyhunt’s deep penetration across Tier 2, Tier 3, and Bharat markets. Dailyhunt’s personalization technology and robust distribution network ensure the ePaper reaches millions of mobile-first users across regions and languages.
Commenting on the launch, Salil Kumar, CEO – Digital Business at India Today Group, said the initiative reimagines the morning news routine by combining authority, speed, and inclusivity. Sunil Mohapatra, SVP at Verse, added that the partnership strengthens Dailyhunt’s premium news offerings while bridging print habits with interactive digital formats.
Together, Aaj Tak and Dailyhunt’s VPaper marks a significant step forward in the evolution of news consumption in India’s rapidly expanding digital ecosystem.
