Case Study: India Today Group digitizes legacy archives for searchable web access with Clavis Tech

India Today Group transforms archive workflows with Clavis Tech’s 48-issue weekly XML pipeline

The India Today Group, a premier Indian media company, faced the challenge of unlocking the value trapped within decades of static print archives. Their vast repository of historical magazine issues existed as scanned PDFs that were invisible to search engines and impossible to monetize, making manual conversion economically unfeasible. They partnered with Clavis Technologies to implement a high-precision digitization and XML conversion solution.

Clavis Technologies deployed a hybrid digitization pipeline combining human-assisted zoning with automated XML transformation to convert the legacy PDFs. This solution successfully migrated the archives into a modern, CMS-ready digital ecosystem, making decades of journalism instantly accessible online. The results included verified data accuracy, the ability to monetize historical content through new web traffic, and a high-volume scalable process that preserved the integrity of India Today's editorial heritage.
