Email.Biz eyes 10 million users

Email.Biz, a Punjab-based premium and personalised email services provider and the country’s biggest .biz domain investor, is expecting its mail service to touch 10 million users, from the present 200,000, by 2016, said its managing director Anshul Goyal.

Launched a year ago, the Email.Biz mail service offers a completely light user interface built in-house, provides the standard 20 GB storage space besides an attachment size of 500 MB, as compared to 25 MB offered by Gmail.

Speaking to mediapersons on the sidelines of World Domain Day India 2014 here on Sunday, Goyal said the company was focusing on promoting the email service and the monetisation efforts would start from 2016.

Leveraging the over 20,000 premium domain words (like @Cars.biz, @Bollywood.biz and @Gates.biz), Email.Biz charges $9 per user a year for premium mail IDs, while the service is free to create and use IDs using @email.biz.

“We are offering the service in English, Hindi, Arabic and Spanish. Plans are afoot to add other top-10 Internet languages like Chinese, Japanese and Italian in three months from now,” he said.
