Chandigarh June 18:
Google India today launched a campaign which is aimed at simplifying the web for the country's internet users.
"The
objective of the campaign is to help simplify the Web for Indian users,
showing how they can get instant answers to their most common queries,"
Sandeep Menon, Director, Marketing, Google India, said here. He said
that as more Indians come online for the first time, they are
increasingly looking for convenient ways to find information on the web.
"Whether
it is to find out about the weather, checking flight status, or even
looking for a restaurant for dinner date, Google Search can give users
instant answers to these common queries in the form of information cards
that appear above search results," he said. With more and more Indians
surfing the internet using their mobile phones, Menon said, "today the
next billion users are making the leap from no internet to mobile
internet, without ever having used a desktop computer."
Terming
the youth of the city net-savvy, he said, "it is in fact quite
fascinating to see an overwhelming response from the youth dominated
Chandigarh populace who have readily embraced the technology in their
lifestyle. Chandigarh is believed to be one of the top cities when it
comes to internet usage. It is great to know that cities like Chandigarh
are using Google Search for their smallest of requirements."
Menon
also touched upon the top Search trends that majority of people
including Chandigarh search for most using Google Trends. "From
Education to travel to yoga, these are the top searches," he said,
adding that Google Trends is a tool that shows what people are searching
for in a country or in a given period of time.
