Startup content site YourStory today launched its vernacular platform with six Indian languages -- Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Bangla, Tamil and Marathi.
Besides, these six Indian languages, services in Gujarati, Malayalam, Urdu, Assamese, Punjabi and Oriya would also go live in the next two months, the company said in a statement.
YourStory was started in October 2008 by Shradha Sharma and since inception it has profiled stories of over 15,000 entrepreneurs.
The new platform would allow one to read original and translated content in Indian languages.

The website aims to reach out to more than 100 million Indians over the next year. "The web version is now live and the mobile app will be following soon," it said.
