AOL and ONEINDIA Form Strategic Alliance


Today I was informed that ONEINDIA and AOL have signed a strategic deal to provide Indian content on AOL in Hindi and Tamil. I feel the relationship is slightly premature given the low amount of Hindi and Tamil users on the web. However, when the number of Hindi and Tamil users increase, the language portals will have a superior advantage.

The Press Release follows:


AOL AND ONEINDIA FORGE A STRATEGIC ALLIANCE

TO POWER THE HINDI & TAMIL LANGUAGE CHANNELS OF AOL.IN



Bangalore (November 26, 2007): AOL, a division of Time Warner, one of the world’s largest media companies, and Oneindia, the leading online portal in Indian languages, today announced a strategic partnership for powering the content on the Hindi and Tamil language channels of AOL.in.


The language portals, aol.in/hindi & aol.in/tamil will offer compelling content ranging from news, movies, sports, Astrology to art & culture from various regions in India.

Apart from daily horoscope, the Astrology channel will provide monthly & weekly forecasts.


AOL.in will be able to leverage on Oneindia’s experience in providing language specific content on Internet. The strategic alliance will offer AOL’s audience with a one-stop destination for engaging and informative content on the Internet, in their own language” said Mr. B. G.
