India headquartered and Nasdaq listed, Rediff.com India Limited (NASDAQ:REDF) grew its unique users in June 2008, as measured by ComScore Media Metrix, by approximately 13% over the corresponding figure for March 2008. As per Comscore data, in this 3-month period Rediff grew at a rate approximately double that of the average growth rates in the Indian internet market and ahead of the growth rate of international portals like Google and Yahoo! in India.

Rediff’s user growth was powered by increased usage of services such as e-mail and video sharing services and its finance channel.

Rediff continued its push to make its search engine a basic utility, useful to a wide base of users in India. During the quarter, Rediff added search tools for tickets and schedules for approximately 20,000 buses that commute daily between approximately 10,000 locations in India. Rediff also added a tool to compare these bus schedules and fares with train fares and schedules for the same destinations as well as a tool to check the status of reservations and arrival times of trains on the extensive Indian Railway system. High school exam results for 70 different exam boards were also made searchable through Search. Other innovations in Search include adding a social search component whereby Search users post questions to other users and extending the video search coverage to over 2 million videos.

Rediff introduced a version of its toolbar for Firefox 3 within a week of the launch of this version of the browser.

Non-GAAP Measures Note

Operating EBITDA and non-GAAP Operating Expenses are the non-GAAP measures in this press release. These measurements are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Operating EBITDA represents income (loss) from operations prior to adjustments for depreciation/amortization, non-recurring items and other income or expense and tax. However, other companies may calculate operating EBITDA differently. Operating EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an indicator of cash flow from operations. We have included information concerning operating EBITDA in this press release because management and our board of directors use it as a measure of our performance. In addition, future investment and capital allocation decisions are based on operating EBITDA. Investors and industry analysts use operating EBITDA to measure the Company’s performance to historic results and our peer group. The reconciliation between operating EBITDA and net income (loss), the GAAP measure, is as follows:

Non-GAAP operating expenses represent our operating expenses comprised of sales and marketing, product development and general and administrative expenses net of depreciation and amortization. We have used the non-GAAP operating expense to compute our operating EBITDA. A reconciliation of the GAAP operating expense to non-GAAP operating expense is as follows:
