GETIT Powers NDTV's Classifieds And Local Search Sections

The latest of media group NDTV's barrage of alliances with online portals is classifieds site GETIT Infoservices Pvt Ltd, which is powering sections of the news site NDTV.com.

Getit FreeAds and Getit.in will power the classifieds and the local search section of NDTV.com respectively. Suparna Singh, Deputy CEO, NDTV Convergence Ltd, said, "We want to make NDTV.com the one-stop home for credible and reliable information across genres. Our partnership with Getit Infoservices Pvt.
