Beyond Hindi: Growing Quora in India

NOTE: the address is 605 Castro, across the street from the Quora offices at 650 Castro. All attendees will be required to sign an NDA.

About this talk:

India’s seemingly infinite and growing mobile internet userbase has resulted in the country being viewed by many consumer internet companies as a land of opportunity. However, there are many Indias in India, and localizing into Hindi—the main non-English language of the country—is usually only the first step to build a successful path in this market.

Join Quora’s Internationalization team to learn how we think about our growth in India, and some of the challenges we have faced and opportunities we have identified over the last few years.

Speakers:

• Gautam Shewakramani, International Growth Advisor
• Chris Zeng, Software Engineer
• Jonathan Brill, Head of Global Writer Relations

::

Networking 6:30 - 7 PM, and after the talk as time allows
Snacks / light food and soft drinks will be served.
No webcast, no recording planned at this time.
