The company said it plans to use the funds to support and strengthen its technological capabilities and invite more storytellers across formats to the platform. Summit Nayak, cofounder, Ekank Technologies, said the company wants to transform the way stories are told by giving creators an opportunity to share their human-interest stories across history, art, culture, and heritage with a large audience. Ekank Technologies, which runs a vernacular storytelling platform called ThisDay, said on Friday it has raised $1 million funding from a clutch of investors, including 9Unicorns, Venture Catalysts, Titan Capital, Bharat Founders Fund Syndicate, and Sujeet Kumar, cofounder of Udaan.
