Sowmya Rajaram chats with Alok Kumar Bhardwaj of Bengaluru-based Hidden Reflex, about Epic Browser, that brings you peacock themed-screensavers, Hindi language use and advanced security features

Why the need for Epic Browser?
Simply put, it was time for a new, better browser. It's time we moved Indian language discourse and conversation online and made it easy for 95 per cent of Indians who aren't online to communicate in Indian languages on the Internet. Users spend hours on a browser, so having a uniquely Indian one makes the experience motivating and enjoyable.

The browser is the most important piece of software on a computer, and its usage is growing. The user experience and interface of the browser, however, hadn't changed in 15 years until Epic Browser. We felt that your web browser should do more for you.

How is Epic Browser unique and more Indian?
We had to develop a tool that could help Indian language conversation move online. Currently, almost all Indian Internet activity has been in English, but with Epic Browser, Indian language speakers can share their thoughts as effortlessly as English speakers.

The multitasking and productivity options that Epic Browser's sidebars facilitate also enhance the browsing experience. There are 1,500+ Indian skins, and an India content sidebar.u00a0 There are several free India-related applications that can be installed via the sidebar.
