As it turned 18 on Tuesday, technology giant Google announced a slew of products, such as YouTube Go and Google Station that are specially designed for India —the world’s second-largest Internet market. “Every second, three more Indians come online for the first time — that’s over 10,000 people every hour,” Google Vice-President (Next Billion Users) Caesar Sengupta said. ‘Google Station’, Mr. Sengupta said, would give partners an easy set of tools to roll-out Wi-Fi hotspots in public places. It will provide software and guidance on hardware to turn fibre connections into fast, reliable and safe Wi-Fi zones. The U.S.-head-quartered firm introduced a more efficient version of YouTube, that will enable both viewing and sharing videos offline.
