Microsoft will now provide a unique email id for Indian users powered by Windows Live Hotmail, through a feature called custom domains.
Residents of Lokhandwala in Andheri, Mumbai are the first to avail of this feature with an email id called www.lokhandwalarocks.com. This is the software giant’s first step towards customizing email for consumers in India.
“The residents of Lokhandwala will now have their own email ids through www.lokhandwalarocks.com. Users can have ids such as rahul@lokhandwalarocks.com and enjoy the added features of Windows Live Hotmail. Similarly, we aim to deliver an email id for every kind of Indian which truly reflects their identity and personality”, said Jaspreet Bindra, Country Manager, Online Services Group India, Microsoft.
“We have also used this opportunity to tie-up with the movie Shoot Out at Lokhandwala. Users can now take part in a contest using their lokhandwalarocks.com email id and win passes for the Asia premiere of the movie”, said Krishna Prasad, Executive Producer, MSN India.
Windows Live Hotmail is the next generation MSN Hotmail.
