About the company

Kanak News is one of Odisha's leading 24x7 Odia news channels, known for breaking stories and credible journalism across politics, business, entertainment, and regional affairs. As audience behaviour shifted to mobile and digital-first consumption, Kanak News wanted their digital presence to match the speed and impact of their newsroom.

The Challenge

Before migration, Kanak News struggled with:

Slow page load times
Limited SEO implementation
Fragmented workflows across teams
Weak visibility on Google Discover and Google News

Their existing CMS couldn't keep up with the fast pace of digital publishing, nor with the demands of real-time news distribution. Kanak News wanted more than just a CMS — they wanted a growth engine.
