Watch Out Orkut! MySpace India Website Is Now Live

News Corp. today officially launched the MySpace India website at in.myspace.com in a market that is almost ruled by Google’s Orkut and even Facebook to a certain degree.

And in an effort to attract the young crowd here, MySpace India is also sponsoring a TV program that will broadcast on Star TV.

Here’s my MySpace page though I am not an active member.

PS: The more obvious web URLs for MySpace India like myspace.in and myspace.co.in are already taken by domain squatters.

Update: Nikhil has an interview with Tarun Tripathi and Amit Kapur of MySpace where they reveal that MySpace India has around half a million users. That number could grow as more Bollywood celebrities and Fashion Designers open up their MySpace accounts.
