In a country as vast and diverse as India, it’s challenging to get people to notice your business. That's why, Google has initiated getting small businesses in India online and providing them the necessary tools, tips and resources to succeed online.
Small businesses are vital in their contribution to India’s socio-economic development. The nation’s small businesses account for 95% of the industrial units in the country and are the second largest employers of human resources. Almost 45% of the total exports from India are dependent on small businesses. Although majority of consumers look online for local products and services, small businesses do not have a website or online presence. This makes them invisible to many potential customers.
Given the potential of growth in India – Google has played a master-stroke here by making it absolutely easy for Indian Businesses to come online.

On the other hand, you also see the SOOFI Group Website GIBO (Getting Indian Business Online) http://www.gibo.in/ trying to take advantage of Web-traffic using similar search words.

ReplyDeleteDear Mr.Jindal
ReplyDeleteYour first 12 months for the domain registration and hosting are absolutely free. Afterwards, you'll have the option to renew your services with HostGator. IndiaGetOnline.in customers will be given a special opportunity to renew their account at a discounted fee with HostGator after one year.
Incase, if you choose not to renew your domain with HostGator, it will be released and can be registered by anyone. Before the end of that year, you can transfer the domain away from HostGator for free. HostGator will provide you with the EPP code needed for the domain transfer without any charges. Please note that most hosting services will charge you a fee to transfer your domain to them.
Google makes its money primarily from advertising and give almost all its products free of charge. There cannot be a better ‘win-win’ model than this.
ReplyDeleteGoogle wants to bring 500,000 small businesses Online in the next 3 years through this program.
indiagetonline.in is getting a very good response.
