“India, as we know, is the leader in youth demographics and we wanted to extend MSN’s appeal and use it as a tool that caters to a much larger audience. Majority of Indians still think in their native language – Hindi, and MSN Yuva serves as a unique channel not only for information and news updates, but also as an interactive channel with features like Dosti and Dil Se. MSN Yuva is a personalization of MSN in our native language where no translators are required to change thoughts into words; people can find their world online in their language and essentially bring MSN to the PCs of the multitude who think and connect in Hindi” – Says Sanjay Trehan – Head MSN India
MSN Yuva’s USP is evidently, the lineage that comes from being a Microsoft property. MSN is one of the most popular Online channels – with 200 Million Page Views. It is known for the best editorials across all verticals; MSN Yuva is the next step as an outreach to a majority of Indians. It offers relevant content to the Hindi and Hinglish speaking generation –which constitutes every Indian at some level. Through this route, MSN India will be a gateway to the local-global Indian youth, that is, in most cases; at least bi-lingual (English and Hindi). It showcases the true power, reach and penetration range of the internet and illustrates how the Web can reach out to any and every one. It is a singular attempt to eliminate the Language barrier in the online space. MSN Yuva is essentially where the youth of a billion strong nation can communicate online in their language.
