Rediff.com (stylized as rediff.com) is an Indian news, information, entertainment and shopping web portal. It was founded in 1996.[2][3] It is headquartered in Mumbai, with offices in Bangalore, New Delhi and New York City.
As of 2009[update], it had more than 300 employees.[4] It is one of the earliest web portals and email providers in India. When its founder Ajit Balakrishnan launched Rediff on the NeT, the internet was barely five months old in the country, and had a total of about 18,000 users.[5]
History
The Rediff.com domain was registered in India in 1996.[6] Early products included the email service Rediffmail[7] and Rediff Shopping, an online marketplace selling electronics and peripherals.
In April 2001, Rediff.com acquired the India Abroad newspaper.[10]
In 2007, Rediff iShare, a multimedia platform, was released.[11] In 2010, Rediffmail NG was launched, an email service for mobile platforms.[12] In 2012, Rediff launched its Android App for Rediff News.[13]
In April 2016, the company decided to delist from NASDAQ, citing the high cost of reporting requirements, given its financial condition.[14]
