Online News Headlines December 20, 2008

When we decided to work on http://headlinesindia.com the target was clearly defined – We wanted to be a site which was made for “India on Internet” generation.

Three years back, we are there, almost there. Headlines India has become one of the finest sites in the India News business. We do not have content or sleekness offered by some of the sites owned by renowned publishing houses (as yet) but what makes us a runway success is our focus on needs of the Internet audience and our focus on giving headlines quick and brisk.

There are challenges of running a news website and these challenges get compounded where the site is being run by an internet company and not a media house or a publishing house. A technology company brings its own challenges and burden. It has abias towards technology over news, it looks at news as sensation and not as the main line business.

Headlines India is trying to cross that chasm and become a truly global Indian News Website.
