Search, Mail and Messenger, offered in seven Indian languages,

India managing the advertising sales and ad-serving for the new co-branded property. Both companies will also partner in distributing Yahoo! India's search and small and medium business offerings.

We looked for a partner with a leadership position in Hindi content, a well respected and renowned brand and a shared vision of the opportunity. Jagran definitely represents all these", said Aparna Pujar, Director - Products, Media and Entertainment, Yahoo! India.
