NEW DELHI, INDIA: Anticipating a huge demand for news consumption in local languages, way2online has launched Way2News, an app that brings short summarized nuggets of news in local languages, in a magazine style format.

Currently, way2news is available in Hindi, Telugu and English languages. “We are planning to add 8 more languages in next 45 days,” told Sunil Patil, Chief Content Officer of Way2News. The app is accessible on Android currently; iOS version of the app will be made live in 2 weeks.

Way2News is foraying into the segment of news readers who want to consume news in their native languages. The emphasis is on presenting news as short summarized news snippets that fit in the mobile screen without scrolling.
