[Reader-list] INDIA'S FIRST LOCAL INTERNET SEARCH ENGINE

[peter griffin]

First? Heh. Anyone remember Khoj? From, um, lemme see, the second half
of the 1990s?

One of Rajesh Jain's creations, if memory serves. (It was bought over
by Sify for much moolah, with some other sites he created, and was,
IMO, the big catalyst for the Indian dotcom boom. The *first* boom.
Which many among you may not remember. :) )
