Encouraged by his love for writing, and egged on by his interest in journalism, Viplav started a digital newspaper, which has accumulated a readership of 4 lakh readers. Driven by a deep commitment to public service, Viplav is always eager to help others.

Viplav Kumar Jain is the Editor-in-Chief, Publisher, and Founder of Agamy Media News in Udaipur. He shares that their daily digital newspaper, with 8 pages, is published at 8 pm, covering news updates till 7 pm. He claims a digital readership of about 4 lakhs. The newspaper mainly focuses on national, state, and Udaipur news.

Apart from the digital newspaper, Agamy Media has a website that updates news from across the country every second. Also, they run a YouTube news channel followed by 23,000 people. This approach ensures that Agamy Media News remains a reliable source for up-to-date information for a wide audience.

When asked why he chose journalism as a career, Viplav says that when he was 22 years old, he loved writing in Hindi and wanted to pursue something related to it. He also feels that journalism is a part of him and he has always been passionate about it.

Sharing more about Agamy Media News, he mentions that he established it in 2017. The firm also provides all types of e-mitra services. Viplav claims that the firm is recognized as Rajasthan's top e-mitra center, offering comprehensive services under one roof. According to him, the company has earned a stellar 5-star rating on Google. Additionally, Agamy Media News received the Indian Excellence Award from the India Book of Records for its outstanding public service.

During the first COVID-19 lockdown, when travel was restricted, many laborers from Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh were stranded in Rajasthan. At that time, the Rajasthan government sought special registration for these laborers to arrange a special train to their respective cities. He asserts that during that challenging period, Agamy Media News went the extra mile by assisting laborers with train registration, free of charge, demonstrating a commitment to public welfare.

After three days, in collaboration with District Collector Anandi, they arranged for the safe transportation of those laborers back to their homes, ensuring full COVID precautions were followed throughout the journey.

Reflecting on his childhood, Viplav shares that at the age of 12-13, when he was in ninth grade, his father passed away and it deeply saddened him. However, he emphasizes that he is not one to give up easily. Despite the hardship, he completed his education up to the twelfth grade. Subsequently, he embarked on a career, joining a private finance company, the AKME Group, where he served as a Finance Manager for nine years. Later he quit the job and founded Agamy Media.

Viplav strongly believes that enduring struggles in life is essential to appreciate the rewards of hard work. According to him, maintaining a positive mindset and believing that things will eventually improve is crucial for everyone.

Discussing his role models, Viplav says that he admires his mother the most, crediting her for raising him and his sister admirably. Despite doing stitching work, she never compromised on their education. He proudly shares having completed his BA and MA degrees and says that he is currently pursuing a PhD. Additionally, he also mentions that he is about to receive an honorary doctorate degree from a university in the USA, recognizing his social contributions.

Viplav shares that he finds inspiration in a particular song, "Hai Thaan Liya Humne Suraj Sa Jalna Hai," which he listens to daily to stay motivated. The song instills in him the determination to never lose hope and to persevere towards his goals.

Talking about his struggles, he shares that he has faced many challenges, especially when his father passed away with the financial responsibilities suddenly falling on him. He understands that everyone faces struggles in life, so he stays positive and keeps working hard.

Describing his achievements, Viplav mentions receiving the Indian Excellence Award from the India Book of Records for his social work. He also received the 'Excellence in Journalism' award, which was given to 200 journalists across the country. He feels proud to run his media house at a young age and represent Udaipur and his nation wherever he goes. These accomplishments are sources of pride and motivation for him.

His advice to aspiring journalists is to prioritize practical experience and self-confidence over bookish knowledge. He believes that in today's media landscape, there are various opportunities available, especially in digital media, which has gained prominence, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic. He encourages aspiring journalists to embrace uniqueness and innovation in their work, as he believes this is the key to success.

To the youth, Viplav shares a message concerning the trend of low pain tolerance and increasing suicides. He emphasizes that life is precious and urges them never to consider suicide as an option, no matter the challenges they face. He advocates staying positive and patiently waiting for better times, believing that positivity and resilience will eventually lead to success.
