Raftaar.in, The First Ever Hindi Content Aggregator And Search Engine


Bangalore: Launched in 2005, Raftaar.in is the first ever platform for search and exploration of Hindi content. The platform has been developed by its sister-concern Indicus Analytics, a economic data analytics and research firm  working on algorithms to create analytical, machine learning, indexing, and statistical modeling applications. The same technology is used to develop a set of Natural Language Processing tools for Hindi language content, more specifically developing algorithms for the universal use of the language across different font families and styles. This led to the development of Raftaar.

The site compiles information from multiple online sources expanding across verticals such as Search, News, Education, Dictionary, Astrology, Religion, Songs, Movies and Blogs. Raftaar’s innovative solutions separates the Hindi content from the entire web, indexing, categorizing and classifying it in an automated manner on a real time basis and making otherwise difficult to access information easily available.  Its unique classification algorithms combined with usage of analytics provides the content into specific easy to access verticals.
