Founded in 2015, the brand’s strategy has evolved over the years, with a current focus on looking beyond pageviews and identifying its loyal readers.  

The Quint presently boasts 25 million monthly active users and has clocked in 125 million pageviews. The publisher has 3 million Facebook followers, 3 million YouTube subscribers and 1 million Instagram followers. 

“When we had just started out, it was of course imperative to think about traffic and pageviews, but over time, our priorities have shifted and we are now concentrating on zeroing in on our loyal audience members,” said Shelly Walia, Executive Editor, The Quint, during WAN-IFRA’s recent Digital Media India conference in New Delhi.

The Quint won seven prizes at the 6th edition of the South Asian Digital Media Awards held during the same conference. They received three Golds, two Silvers, one Bronze, and also honoured as the “Champion Publisher of the Year 2022.”
