India's TLD, riding the world's fastest-growing internet market. Also quietly great for word hacks (log.in, jump.in).

Since
1989
Why it works
  • Massive growing market
  • Cheap
  • Doubles as the preposition 'in' for domain hacks
Why it might not
  • Geo-signal if you're not India-focused

The longer take

Two distinct plays: Indian-market businesses (obvious), and English word-hack domains where 'in' completes a phrase. linked.in walked so everyone else could run.
