UP Tak has been at the forefront in covering the news from across Uttar Pradesh. This achievement of reaching 1 crore subscribers accentuates the channel’s focus on providing top-notch news coverage spanning politics and trending topics from the state.
“Last year we all celebrated News Tak achieving the 10 million subscribers’ milestone. We had an internal competition amongst Crime Tak, Sports Tak, and UP Tak, each vying to reach this remarkable milestone first. I am happy to announce that UP Tak emerged victorious in this spirited race, coinciding with the auspicious occasion of Navratri and just before the onset of general elections. The competition between Crime Tak and Sports Tak will persist until the next opportunity,” remarked Kalli Purie, Vice-chairperson India Today Group.
UP Tak is the second in the universe of Tak channels to achieve the 10 Million landmark. The first one was the national news channel, News Tak. This significant achievement of reaching 10 million YouTube subscribers by UP Tak surpasses that of any other Hindi regional news channel.
