Relying solely on English to engage Indian consumers may prove to be ineffective. As the number of Indian users online continues to increase, the demand for local Indian languages will become more dominant. Given the linguistic diversity in India, businesses planning to expand to the Indian markets must strongly consider developing a multilingual SEO strategy in popular Indian languages to connect with the local audience and to capitalize on opportunities. Redhood currently offers SEO content translation projects of any size from English to Hindi, Bengali and Kannada.

Bengali is the second most spoken language in India, with over 97 million speakers. It is primarily used in the state of West Bengal and in several northeastern states.
