Supporting over 1500 GPRS enabled handsets, the application NewsHunt allows users to read content in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. The latest version of application is supported on the fastest growing mobile platform - Android too.
The application is useful for locals to read news and entertainment on the move, in their language. Also, NRIs would benefit from this to be updated on news about their region, almost real-time.
B.G.Mahesh, CEO of OneIndia.in said, "Just 12% of Indians are comfortable with English, the rest, which happens to be the majority, want language content. Subscribers of vernacular content are growing in tier 1 & 2 cities. The thrust is coming from tier 2 cities enabled by low cost data plans and people being on the move all the time. Applications are making the user experience of reading on mobile better and more prevalent."

The application and content is free of any charges and the user would only need to pay for data charges as per his/her GPRS plan.
