Hotmail Founder to revive Arzoo.com

Bangalore, Mar 10 (UNI) Celebrating the tenth anniversary of floating Hotmail, its co-founder Sabeer Bhatia has announced the re-launch of travel portal Arzoo.com from India in three months.

Talking to newspersons here last night, he said that with a number of people travelling to India, travel was a great market now.

He, however, did not divulge details about the re-launch.

Mr Bhatia had wound up Arzoo.com portal, launched after he sold hotmail.com, as it did not succeed. He had recently floated blogeverywhere.com, an internet-based toolbar that enabled faster e-mail browsing and allowed users to post comments on any website.

Mr Bhatia said India needed to address the illiteracy issue on a priority basis if it had to succeed as a technology and economic power house. ''It is shocking to note that more than 100 million children in India still do not have access to primary education,'' he added.
