Transformed Election Coverage & Got 25% Increase in Audience Satisfaction Metrics

About the Client

A leading national media conglomerate, the client delivers live election coverage across 13 regional languages, Hindi, and English. With high viewership and real-time reporting expectations, system performance and accuracy are mission-critical, especially during peak election cycles.

Business Impact

Legacy tools and manual processes hindered the client’s ability to deliver fast and reliable election updates. Real-time performance was compromised, causing inconsistencies and viewer dissatisfaction, threatening the credibility and efficiency of their election coverage.

The Challenge

“Our team was spending hours juggling Excel files and manually fixing data errors while trying to deliver real-time election coverage. It simply wasn’t sustainable.” — Senior Broadcast Producer, Client Organization

The client’s election operations relied on outdated systems: Excel spreadsheets, a PHP-based backend, and a fragmented data pipeline. This led to delayed updates, display errors on live broadcasts, and an inability to scale during high-traffic events.

Our Approach

We executed a full-stack modernization of the client’s election reporting system—automating workflows, upgrading infrastructure, and enabling seamless real-time data delivery across multiple languages and platforms.

Why Node.js, MongoDB & Next.js?

  • Node.js: Offers a scalable and high-performance backend suited for real-time data operations.
  • MongoDB: Handled dynamic, unstructured data efficiently with flexible schema design.
  • Next.js: Delivered fast, responsive front-end experiences for both internal users and broadcast viewers.

Key Initiatives

  • Custom CMS: Built a dedicated CMS to replace Excel for centralized and error-free data entry.
  • Backend Upgrade: Migrated from PHP to Node.js for speed and modular scalability.
  • Database Optimization: Replaced PostgreSQL with MongoDB to better manage fast-changing election data.
  • Front-End Revamp: Shifted to a Next.js framework for responsive UIs and smoother user interaction.
  • Live Update Pipeline: Engineered a real-time data streaming pipeline to ensure live accuracy.

The Solution

A robust, end-to-end election coverage system was delivered—capable of managing high-frequency updates across multilingual platforms. Real-time accuracy was prioritized through efficient data pipelines, while automation drastically reduced the margin for error and manual workload.
