VerSe was founded in the year 2007 and has constantly sought to bridge the urban-rural digital divide in the country.

With a substantial footprint in the value-added service ecosystem, VerSe broke new ground in the content and entertainment domain with two of the biggest brands in local language content – Dailyhunt, India’s leading utilitarian content and local language app, and Josh, one of the largest short video apps in the country.

Today, VerSe Innovation is a content technology platform company and India’s first tech unicorn focused on the local language audience.
