Digital platforms are the new source of marketing as a way to reach out to people. Most of the news and information that we get today is from these digital platforms. It has also become a source of many interactions and opinions that people have about different aspects of a particular news story, a product review or in general whatever it is that needs to be told. Some of these platforms that allow you to publish your content are now the driving forces of the digital revolution. Although India has been a bit late in entering the digital race in publishing content online due to various regional policies and limited internet spectrum, but the growing popularity of mobile devices and easy to use apps have given Indian writers the needed push to express the thoughts and views of one of the largest community in the world.
