6 Technologies & Capabilities (in-house)

YourStory Media is a Sector Media with strong in-house capabilities in their core domain. They likely rely on third-party tech vendors for advanced immersive-tech (projection mapping, AR/VR, immersive venue design) — which is the Pixel Hues sweet spot.

Capability	In-house?	Notes
Core domain operations	YES — In-house	—
Advanced immersive-tech	NO — Outsource	🔥 Pixel Hues opportunity
Projection mapping / AR/VR	NO — Outsource	🔥 Pixel Hues opportunity

🎯 Pixel Hues positioning: YourStory Media has the core domain credibility but lacks advanced immersive-tech execution. Pixel Hues is positioned as the preferred projection mapping + AR/VR + immersive design partner.
