Mr Jay Paudyal, founder of Knowledge Cafe, shared his thoughts and experience of working on regional languages and produce more content for the local audience. He said, "Regional content is picking up slowly but quality of the content in Indian regional languages is still not at par with others. Once the quality of the content gets better and more blogs/websites come up, things will get better for the regional crowd. In regional languages, more people will visit the website, which in turn will attract advertisers, and open new opportunities to cash the same,"

The Domain Name Roundtable in Ranchi was a full of learning workshop, as it updated the local audience with Internet based career options. The workshop was well received by more than 65 attendees.
