Now, get your email address in Hindi

NEW DELHI: Startup Data Xgen Technologies has started a paid email address service in Hindi characters or Devanagari script, and plans to roll out free registration of such IDs on the lines of Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo soon.

“A few hundred IDs have been created till now on .Bharat domain, which is available in Devanagari script. Anyone interested in Hindi script ID can visit our website and buy email package as per their need,” Data Xgen Technologies Founder Ajay Data told reporters.

Email sent from these addresses is supported by leading service providers like Gmail and Microsoft.

“Besides communicating in Hindi, people can send emails from addresses created in Hindi script to Gmail, Outlook and some of the other addresses. We wish to start a free email id on .Bharat domain soon just like Gmail of India for Hindi domains and soon we will work with government to do that,” Data said.

To bring more people on Internet, Government is pushing website and email addresses in Hindi or Devanagari scripts. The National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) has asked domain or website name sellers to provide free .Bharat (in Devanagari script) to everyone who buys a “.In” domain name. (AGENCIES)
