The story

Founded by Ajit Balakrishnan on Jan 1996, in India.1

The Rediff.com domain was registered in India in 1996. Early products included the email service Rediffmail and Rediff Shopping, an online marketplace selling electronics and peripherals.

In 2001, Rediff.com was alleged to be in violation of the Securities Act of 1933 for filing a materially false prospectus in relation to an IPO of its American depositary shares. The case was resolved by settlement in 2009.

In April 2001, Rediff.com acquired the India Abroad newspaper.

In 2007, Rediff iShare, a multimedia platform, was released. In 2010, Rediffmail NG was launched, an email service for mobile platforms. In 2012, Rediff launched its Android App for Rediff News.

In April 2016, the company decided to delist from NASDAQ, citing the high cost of reporting requirements, given its financial condition.
