On 10 February 2021, Quintype Technologies India, a leading digital publishing Saas company, announced that Sakal Media Group headquartered in Pune, had selected its publishing platform for its digital transformation. Sakal publishes a daily newspaper by that name and magazines primarily in Marathi. It also publishes newspapers and magazines in English across Maharashtra and Goa and is the largest independently owned media business in Maharashtra.
Sakal will rely on the breadth and depth of Quintype’s software, including capabilities in content management, monetization, audience engagement, real-time analytics, omnichannel content distribution, API access, and multi-site support. The idea is to provide a seamless experience to readers and powerful collaboration tools to the publishing teams.
Sakal website to be powered by Quintype’s Bold
Sakal has signed with Quintype for its full suite of digital publishing products, including its cutting edge CMS Bold, subscription management system Accesstype, audience engagement solution Metype, mobile apps, and its website development tool – Page Builder.
Sakal’s digital transformation journey with Quintype will begin with its flagship website. The transformation will be powered by Quintype’s Bold, a cutting-edge content management system that helps manage, publish, share and monetize content on all social channels, platforms, and devices effortlessly.
“Our readers’ needs and expectations of how they consume content is ever-changing, and the current pandemic situation has accelerated the digital shift. Quintype will give us the agility to innovate quickly and provide a seamless and secure experience while delivering the reliability and performance our readers have come to expect from us for more than 85 years,” says Abhijit Pawar, managing director, Sakal Media Group.
As the media industry shifts from mobile-first to mobile-only content strategy, Quintype helps content creators capture the new landscape of audiences and link it with monetization. Chirdeep Shetty, chief executive officer, Quintype India, states, “We are thrilled to join forces with Sakal on their digital journey.
