Sify launches new local site aimed at Bangalore. Plans to create local sites for all major Indian Cities?
Sify Ltd has launced a new website with local content for Banagalore. The URL of the website is: http://bangalorelive.in/
Interestingly, they own the following domain names as well:
http://www.Bombaylive.in
http://www.Chennailive.in
http://www.punelive.in
http://www.hyderabadlive.in
http://www.NewDelhilive.in
http://www.calcuttalive.in
If they can capitalize on local city specific sites it will create a nice revenue stream for SIFY Ltd. I have been waiting for Sify to expand and grow its portal business and with the launch of http://www.sifymax.com and local sites like http://www.bangalorelive.in it seems like SIFY is on the right path.
No registration required to leave comments. Would love to hear some comments on the local route SIFY is taking.

Dude, great job. This is great news for SIFY investors. Good piece of ‘Investigative journalism’

Great find on this news. Good site as well. I like some of your other stock picks as well like PEIX and PANL. Although, now might not be a great time to get into those stocks. SIFY on the other hand is an obvious buy with their portal business growing at a tremendous rate. I subscribed to your RSS feed as well. Keep up the good work.

good initiative. is this the first time someone is doing this ?

I am not aware of any other portal doing this. I think this is a great initiative for the Indian Market because each city is so different from each other. Each city has its own local language and culture and this makes it a site that locals can relate to and call it their own. I love the traffic reports and the marketplace to list items to sell like cars and houses.
