BharatMatrimony.com launches the regional editions of the portal in 6 Indian languages including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Marathi & Gujarati. More language portals would be added within the next 3 months. The company has become the first Internet vertical (vortal) & to offer services in 6 languages. The entire interface, navigation, drops down fields & sub fields have been completely enabled in the chosen language, without just being cosmetic.

Announcing this unique initiative Murugavel Janakiraman, Founder & CEO, BharatMatrimony Group, said, "India as a country is vast and different languages are used in different regions. Though English is the most popular technical language there are only about 5% of the population understanding it. Recent surveys have revealed that more than 41% people prefer regional language sites. Our endeavor therefore was to reach out to more users beyond the metros & mini-metros. Also parents form a big part of our customer base and we wanted to give them a more user friendly language based interface to make them comfortable & increase usage thereby get in more parents to use our sites as well."
