domains Agaamin to launch Indian .bha domain extension

[Lox]

The Gurugram-based bootstrapped start-up Agaamin Technologies is going live this Friday-Saturday midnight with the country's maiden internet offering with the vernacular smart name, which can be used in lieu of the dotcom (.com) or dotin (.in), with the Devanagri equivalent of dotbha (.bha) the first alphabet of the word Bharat.

Agaamin means 'future' in Sanskrit, and the founder Sajan Nair said the Indian internet that he is launching can go a long way in "bridging the digital divide between India and Bharat".

Nair added that the Indian internet with '.bha' as a smart name is not only the first in the country but also across Asia and probably the second/third globally when it comes to "the smart name registry for the world of dWeb or decentralised Web".

Agaamin also plans to have emojis and surnames as top-level domains (TLDs) shortly.

As an Indian I can assure you no one's gonna be interested in that. Dot com is still vastly more popular than dot in. Devnagiri dot bha is not going to be easy to type in either.

This service is a registry for second level registrations on handshake based TLDs.

"Bha" doesn't make much sense tbh.

Your thoughts seems positive, at least.
A lot of work is needed to familiarize people with these type of domain extensions.
Good luck.

Should have been bharat. There was an auction of dhosa, idlee, tasvir and jaleb which are more typical Indian words than the vague bha

why .bha if they can use .bh ( for bahrain)...it is open for all the world
