Talking about the future perspective of founder and co-founder, Vishal Yoman and Ayushi Anand respectively said, “There are people whose voices go unnoticed by mainstream media in small towns, which is why we conceptualized Mirzapur Official. A platform where every voice can be heard through the medium of news. We allow people to act as reporters, covering any incident that occurs in their environment and presenting it to the rest of the world via our platform. We are educating people about digital and how to use the internet as a strong tool. In the future, we expect that our platform will be used to disseminate news concerning everyday problems.”
