Currently, we are covering 20 cities across the country, including tier-one cities such as Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai with a differentiated offering and tier-two cities such as Bhubaneswar, Bhopal, Madurai, Chandigarh and Jaipur," Yahoo! India managing director George Zacharias told reporters here at a preview of the products. Similarly, Yahoo!

"We innovate to enhance the end-user experience. The emergence of Web 2.0 and user generated content offers our netizens a unique local offering," said Zacharias. |
