I just want to highlight the great work that Jeff and his team are doing over at Inforum.in, a domain forum dedicated to Indian domain names.

Just a handful of people could envisage the true potential of domain names a decade ago. With India being one of the world’s fastest growing economy (even during unprecedented global economic turmoil) and home to over 1 billion people, it should not take a visionary to appreciate the true potential of Indian domains and TLD.

The Indian TLDs (.co.in and .in) have not really taken off as yet like other country TLDs. There are very little reported sales, and there are still a few great unregistered domains.

I invested in a few dictionary Indian TLDs some years ago, and have managed to sell a few. Unlike many other country TLDs, Indian domains DO get a lot of traffic. Am not surprised, as within a population of 1,129,866,154 people, there will certainly be a few niches.

India is a multi-lingual society. A lot of call centres for US and British companies are based in India, employing locally trained personnel. When customers dial their toll-free or national numbers, they are routed straight through to India.

India is also home to many IT professionals. This month DN Journal cover story features Divyank Turakhia, the 26-year-old Founder and CEO of Skenzo.com (and Co-Founder of parent company Directi). As a 16-year-old high school student in 1998, he and his brother Bhavin co-founded the Directi Group with a $600 loan from their parents. That tiny investment has sprouted into a global conglomerate that is believed to be worth over $300 million today.

Investments in Indian domains may not spell over night success, but the Indian TLDs are good buy-and-hold investments. My only problem with the Indian TLDs is that not many popular domain registrars offer them. If registrars can offer some of the unknown TLDs which I see them offering, then there is no justification for not offering the Indian TLDs. They are losing millions.
