Dailyhunt (formerly Newshunt) is an Indian content and news aggregator application based in Bangalore, India that provides local language content in 14 Indian languages from multiple content providers.[1]
Viru serves as Founder of Dailyhunt with Co-founder Umang Bedi. The company's mission is "the Indic platform empowering a billion Indians to discover, consume and socialise with content that informs, enriches and entertains".[1]
Dailyhunt, earlier called Newshunt, was created as a Symbian app in 2009 by two ex-Nokia employees Umesh Kulkarni and Chandrashekhar Sohoni. Later in 2011, Newshunt became available on the Android platform. It was by that time that Virendra Gupta, founder of Verse acquired the application.
Virendra Gupta, better known as Viru, had started Verse in 2007 as a value-added service (VAS) company.[2] In 2011, he acquired Newshunt from its owners Umesh and Chandrashekhar. Umesh became the CTO and stayed on to oversee its transition towards the smartphone era.
In 2015, Viru renamed Newshunt as Dailyhunt. In early 2018, Viru roped in Umang Bedi, to be the President of Dailyhunt and lead the business with him while focusing on making the benefits of the platform available to a larger audience. Later, the duo pivoted their aim to becoming India's largest digital media business. Umang was elevated to co-founder in 2020.[citation needed]
In September 2014, Dailyhunt (then known as Newshunt) closed its Series B funding of INR 1 billion ( or approx $12 million in 2014) from Sequoia Capital India.[3] The Series C funding round was led by Falcon Capital and was closed with $40 million in February 2015.[4] In October 2016, the company received its Series D funding of $25 million from ByteDance[5] and a Series E funding of $6.39 million from Falcon Edge Capital in September 2018.[6] Additionally, Dailyhunt raised $3 Mn (INR 21.75 Cr) in a Series F funding round from Stonebridge Capital in August 2019.[7] Other investors of Dailyhunt include Matrix Partners India, Omidyar Network, Goldman Sachs and Sofina.
In January 2021, Dailyhunt announced the premiere of Season 2 of the popular show QuoteUnquote with KK (Kapil Khandelwal) on the app. It was the first podcast to have been launched on the Dailyhunt app.[9]

The new electronic daily hunt permit system, hosted by iSportsman, will be in use at the following wildlife areas beginning Sept. 1: Jamestown, Lovewell, Clinton, Elwood, Kansas River, Milford, Cheyenne Bottoms, Texas Lake, Isabel, McPherson Wetlands, Slate Creek Wetlands, Neosho, Melvern and Lyon. A similar system is already in use at Fort Riley.
This new system will be more convenient for hunters and provide harvest information in a much more efficient manner. Information gathered will continue to be used by managers to provide high-quality opportunities for hunters and manage public lands responsibly. For more information call (620) 672-5911 or visit
What is the most efficient way of leveling up? As we all know mini-dungeon is decent for mesos, SF is decent for exp. What about daily hunt? Is it still more efficient to manual grind in SF or to do the daily hunt manually. Is it even worth it to do the daily hunt?
I don't have enough entries into the mini-dungeon to kill all my daily hunts at the same time so I'd like to easily go mop up my remaining ones. However if I open up my daily hunt list and choose "Quick move" beside any monster it just re-opens the mini-dungeon again.
In the following areas, hunt sites must be registered on a permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or Kentucky Fish & Wildlife before the blind is constructed: Barkley Lake, Barren River Lake, Doug Travis, and Green River Lake. Applicants must show a valid hunting license, Kentucky Migratory Bird/Waterfowl Permit, and Federal Migratory (Duck) Bird Stamp when applying. An applicant may designate one other person as a partner and shall not hold more than one permit per area. Hunt sites registered on these areas not occupied by one hour before sunrise of any day are considered open to other hunters, a first-come, first-served basis for that day. Permittees shall not lock blinds to prevent use by other hunters in the absence of the permittee. Hunt sites on the above listed areas must be constructed by November 20 and removed within 30 days of the close of the season. Permittees who fail to remove their blind as stated will forfeit the opportunity to obtain a blind the following year. Hunters selected for a waterfowl blind at Sloughs Wildlife Management Area must complete a hunter survey report or lose eligibility for a blind the following year.
On Barkley, Barren River, Doug Travis, and Green River, hunters who want hunt sites must register and be selected by random drawing. Drawings are held from August through October and applicants must be 18 years of age and show a valid Kentucky hunting license, a Kentucky waterfowl permit and a Federal migratory bird stamp at that time. Each person drawn may select a partner of the hunt site for hunting in the absence of the person drawn. Partners must be present at the drawing. Drawn hunters may use their hunt site the entire season and may use a boat or a portable blind or construct a permanent blind. Each hunt site must be pinned with a permanent marker identifying the permit holders for the hunt site. If drawn hunters do not occupy a blind or hunt site by one- hour before sunrise that day, the blind or hunt site is open to other hunters on a first-come, first-served basis.
Boat-in units require a boat to access hunting areas. Hunters may hunt from the boat or get out and hunt away from the boat. There are also two blinds available for mobility-impaired hunters. These mobility-impaired blinds are wheelchair accessible.
All hunters must obtain a daily hunt permit before hunting. Permits are available through the online quota hunt system, or through the daily stand-by drawing held for any unclaimed units. Each drawn hunter may bring up to three guests. Fourteen (14) permits are issued each day though the quota hunt drawing.
The Ballard WMA Check Station opens at 4:30 a.m. Central Standard Time (CST). All drawn and stand-by hunters must check in by 5 a.m. CST each morning. Anyone not checked in by 5 a.m. CST forfeits their opportunity to hunt at Ballard that day. Only the drawn hunter should enter the check station to check their party in. The drawn hunter must have a valid photo ID when checking in and know the names and addresses of other members of his party. Quota hunt permits are not transferable.
No hunt unit/blind site may be hunted unless the drawn hunter selected for that specific date(s) is present. Each morning the drawn hunter will fill out a Daily Waterfowl Hunting Tag that lists the members of their hunting party. This will be collected at check-in. The bottom portion of the tag will be retained and taken with the hunt party, to collect the daily hunt data. After each hunt, this card must be turned in at the drop box located outside of the check station. Failure to complete and turn in the daily hunt data card will result in the permit holder being ineligible to hunt at Ballard WMA for the remainder of the current and following waterfowl season.
New this year, All Regular Season Duck Hunts (including Thanksgiving week) will now require hunters to be drawn via the Boatwright Online Quota Hunt App or be assigned via in-person Stand-by drawings.
Each hunting party will be responsible for bringing and placing decoys as well as retrieving birds. These blinds will be open to standby hunters on a first-come, first-served basis if the drawn party does not occupy the blind by one hour before sunrise.
During duck season (Nov. 23-26 and Dec. 7, 2023 - Jan. 31, 2024), waterfowl hunting is available on the Crenshaw and Duncan tracts through an online Quota Hunt drawing. Hunting is permitted only within designated hunt unit boundaries or blinds. The remainder of the Sauerheber Unit is closed to all public access from Nov. 1 - March 15. The quota hunt application period is Sept. 1-30. The results of the drawing will be available in mid-October. Successful applicants will be assigned a hunt unit or a specific hunting blind. If you draw a hunt unit, you may hunt anywhere within the defined hunt unit boundary (See Sloughs WMA: Sauerheber Hunt Unit Maps). Two of the twelve available units are blind locations only. You cannot hunt outside of the blind on these two units.
Hunters selected for a Sauerheber Quota Hunt must check in on the Sunday prior to their hunt by sending an email to sloughsq...@ky.gov. In the email, please include your name, hunt unit, hunt dates, and hunt confirmation number. If the permit holder fails to check in the Sunday prior to the hunt, you will not have the necessary permit to hunt and could be cited.
All hunters must complete and submit the Daily Post-Hunt Survey provided by the Department by 3 p.m. CST each day. Failure to complete the Daily PostHunt Survey will result in the permit holder being ineligible to hunt at Sloughs WMA for the remainder of the current and following waterfowl season. Daily Post-Hunt Survey cards and drop-box will be located next to the kiosk in front of the Sloughs WMA office on Highway 268.
Quota hunt permits are not transferable. No hunt unit/blind site may be hunted unless the hunter selected for that hunt unit/blind site, for that specific date(s) is present and has on their person a valid Hunt Confirmation Number issued by KDFWR. No standby hunting is allowed.
Quota permit holders may bring up to three (3) additional hunting guests. No more than four (4) hunters are allowed per hunt unit/ blind site. Hunters are allowed 25 shells per day on the Crenshaw/ Duncan tracts. All hunters must have a photo ID and all appropriate licenses and permits. Hunters must hunt in close proximity to other hunt party members so that each member of the party is within 25 feet of another party member and no two party members are more than 100 feet apart.
