Ajit Balakrishnan founded Rediff.com in 1995. Rediffmail became the digital identity of an entire generation of Indians in the 2000s. The company built some of India's first major consumer internet services and briefly looked like the country's Yahoo. But it eventually lost its lead, including to Google, which entered the Indian market later in the 1990s.
