Kindo Launches in Hindi

LONDON —July 15, 2008— Kindo, the free family tree builder and photo sharing site, today launches its popular website in Hindi.  With the launch of Hindi, Kindo takes another important step towards the vision of creating a family network for the entire world.

So far no social network has paid much attention to Hindi, but for Kindo it was an easy choice. Hindi is among the top 5 languages spoken in the world, with over 500 million native speakers, 330 million in India alone.

"We're excited about this launch" says Nils Hammar, co-founder of Kindo. "We believe Internet access and usage will grow among Hindi speakers over the next few years, and that many Indians will want to use the service in their mother tongue. Apart from connecting typical Indian homes, Kindo will provide great assistance to families of many Indians who are based all over the world. Kindo is meant for all generations so it's Important to make everyone feel at home."

 For Indians, the family is central to the daily life, which is another reason why Kindo decided to launch in Hindi.

 "We're trying to get families from all over the world to interact online, by sharing information about themselves and photos from family events. I think this is especially attractive to cultures where family ties are strong, such as in India.” says Mr Hammar.
