India has 234 million Indian language users who are online (compared to 175 million English web users). It is expected another 300 million Indian language users will come online in the next four years. Bengali being the sixth most spoken language around the world, publishers and advertisers can now reach a large audience globally and target them with Bengali-language search and display ads.

Speaking about the initiative, Shalini Girish, director - Google Marketing Solutions, Google India, says, "With the availability of Hindi, and today’s launch of Bengali language capabilities, we are working hard to ensure that digital advertising is keeping up with the needs of an evolving internet audience. Over the coming months, we will share more about our efforts to further build on this."
