Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], July 1: Swarajya, a historic publication and prominent digital platform, has announced a significant new funding round in its sponsor company, Kovai Media Pvt. Ltd. This infusion of capital is set to accelerate the platform's rapid growth and expansion, supplemented by internal accruals.

Existing investors, including the Venture Finance & Development Corporation and Meridian Investments, showed strong support in an oversubscribed round led by Yuj Bharat Holdings, who now hold a 38% share. 'The company plans to enhance its editorial desk, hire staff across key cities, and upgrade its technology stack,' said Amarnath Govindarajan, CEO and Publisher.
