The low penetration of domain names in India is opening opportunities for registrars as well (these are companies that delegate domain names and are accredited by the ICANN). “We believe over a period of time, even in India, the domain name penetration would rise, since the number of people with internet access is also expected to rise. We think India represents a $100-million (Rs 450 crore) market opportunity and is growing at 25 per cent annually,†Shashank Mehrotra, director (strategy and business development), Directi.
Manish Dalal, vice-president, Asia Pacific, VeriSign, says, “India has 30 million small- and medium-sized enterprises and only two million domain names. Having a presence on the web can enhance a firm’s business opportunity. We have seen the change in the business prospects of a business because of a dedicated domain and web presence.†For Rs 2,000, an individual can get a domain name and a website.
