The site, in 1996

An Indian news, email, entertainment and shopping portal, based in Mumbai.

Ajit Balakrishnan founded it in 1996, when internet access in India was five months old and had only 18,000 users. It was the first Indian website to become a mainstream news organisation.

In 1996: Founded this year. Early products included the email service Rediffmail and an online shop for electronics.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
