What yMedia does

yMedia is an AI-native marketing studio headquartered in Gurugram, India, providing integrated digital marketing services to fintech, crypto, technology, and D2C brands. The company's core offerings span five service lines: Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), which engineers brand narratives to earn citations in large language models such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI; Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), which produces structured, machine-readable pages on client domains to enable AI search citation (productized from a $999 one-time setup); PR and media distribution across a roster of 100-plus Tier 1 publications including Times of India, Forbes India, CoinTelegraph, Hindustan Times, and Benzinga; GenAI video production using AI avatars and text-to-speech for branded content at scale; and social media and digital marketing focused on measurable organic and paid growth. The firm reports 75+ brands served, 25K+ content pieces published, and a 50+ person team across content, video, design, and business development, with documented client outcomes including a $3M presale raise for Ozak AI, 9.6x follower growth for NodeOps, 125K followers built for Max Estates, and 75% cheaper CPC for Delta Exchange.

The underlying technology stack is largely third-party: yMedia orchestrates generative AI tooling for content, AI avatar/TTS platforms for video, and standard structured-data and SEO techniques for AEO/GEO, without disclosed proprietary models. Its GTM is sales-led, anchored on free GEO/AEO audits and strategy calls, with the audit tool functioning as a product-led growth entry point that converts top-of-funnel traffic into qualified conversations. Revenue is generated through professional-services engagements — project-based or retainer — sold primarily to enterprise clients but increasingly to startups across fintech, crypto, real estate, automotive, and media verticals. The firm is privately held, founder-led by CEO Shashank Bhardwaj, has not disclosed external funding rounds, and has no parent entity or acquisition history in the available data.
