Sattvik Mishra, 

CEO
age: 28
Mishra’s viral content juggernaut gets 80% of its traffic from mobile. This will be the year of videos; a chunk of the $4 million raised in November will be spent in expanding into new genres, including docus. While listicles are still in, Mishra is bullish on news. “Nobody takes you seriously if you don’t do news,” he says. He has hired senior journalists and says news’s share in traffic has increased sixfold to 30%. The company, which now includes Hindi site GazabPost and women-centric platform Vagabomb, more than tripled uniques to 20 million.
