Founded by Ajit Balakrishnan in 1996, it was the first Indian website to become a mainstream news media organisation. It is headquartered in Mumbai with offices in Bengaluru, New Delhi, and New York City.
As of 2009, it had more than 300 employees. At the time of its founding, internet access had only been available in India for five months with a mere 18,000 users, leaving Rediff.com as one of the earliest Indian web portals and email providers.
