Internet major Yahoo! is expanding its presence in India with plans to launch up to six new portals in regional languages and acquire or enter into partnership with an Indian company. The company will also increase headcount at its R&D centre in Bangalore to 1,000 from current 800 by the end of this year. "The company is planning to launch new portals in about 2 to 6 Indian regional languages and an announcement to this effect is expected in the next few weeks," a company spokesperson said. Yahoo! would add 200 software engineers at its R&D centre at Bangalore, taking the total headcount to 1,000 by the end of the year, the official said. The spokesperson said Yahoo! is in discussions with various Indian companies for partnerships and acquisitions and a decision to this effect is expected in the next 6 to 10 months. However, the official declined to divulge further details about the investments lined up for India. "The investments will be made depending upon the opportunities which arise," the company official said. Yahoo! had recently made an equity investment of $8.65 million in matrimonial portal Bharatmatrimony.com.
