Desi Networks, LLC Expands Reach With Name.com

WASHINGTON - June 12, 2014 - PRLog -- Desi Networks, LLC, the company behind the .desi generic top-level domain (gTLD), has announced that it has just entered into a formal registrar agreement with industry veterans Name.com and eNom.  This agreement advances the channel strategy domestically for Desi Networks and leverages the strength of the Name.com and eNom brands to build awareness of and distribute the .desi domain.

“We are excited at the prospect of working with both Rightside registrars. ” said Sid Ohri, COO. “Their extensive infrastructure and brand recognition will be invaluable in promoting the .desi gTLD”. The focus of .desi is the global diaspora and emerging markets within the Indian Subcontinent.  “We believe that .desi is unique amongst the majority of domains being offered because it has the potential to unite a largely underserved community in a very meaningful way,” states Ohri.

“desi” is derived from Sanskrit and refers to the culture, people and products originating from the Indian sub-continent (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka). It immediately evokes a sense of identity and community among the more than 1.6 billion people around the globe. No other top level domain triggers such immediate recognition from so many.

.desi has been delegated and the .desi team is working on an international launch plan and brand awareness initiatives. Look for information on the upcoming Sunrise and Landrush phases scheduled to start in June 2014.
