Exhibit 99.1

Rediff.Com Reports Results for the 2nd Quarter Ended September 30, 2009

Mumbai, India, November 6, 2009.

“As we had said in our last earnings call, we have taken a number of steps to improve the customer experience on our site, including the removal of ads from our home page, reduction of intrusive and non-contextual ads on other pages, as a result of which we expected a reduction in our revenue in the upcoming quarters. Accordingly, we saw a decline in revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 by 16% over the previous quarter and by 43% over the corresponding quarter in the previous year in US Dollar terms. However, we believe that these user-experience-improvement initiatives have started to show results and have helped us restore the growth in our user base, as measured by ComScore Media Metrix. In addition, we have socially enabled many parts of our site, allowing users to interact with each other as well as discover content based on their social interests. These initiatives are pivoted around a MyPage for each user of our service. User activity on MyPage has quickly gained traction among internet users in India.” said Ajit Balakrishnan, Chairman and CEO Rediff.com.

We propose to continue this strategy for the next two or three quarters and also plan to continue our investment in product development and brand building, at the rate of about 1.0 to 1.5 million dollars in the next few quarters. We are hopeful that all of these steps, user experience improvements, social enabling and heightened brand profile, will significantly improve our share of unique users in India, which in turn will translate to higher revenue and profitability over the next few quarters.

Our cash balance of $48 million as of September 30, 2009 ($49 million same date last year) allows us to meet our liquidity needs and to execute on our product development and investment strategy.

Further details of Rediff.com’s results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2009 are appended in tabular form to this press release. A script of the earnings result conference call held on November 06, 2009 will also be made available on Rediff’s Investor Information website at investor.rediff.com.

Non-GAAP Measures Note

Operating EBITDA, non-GAAP operating expenses, impairments related to long lived assets are the non-GAAP measures in this press release. These measurements are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Operating EBITDA represents loss from operations prior to adjustments for depreciation/ amortization, non-recurring items and other income or expense and tax. However, other companies may calculate operating EBITDA differently. Operating EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an indicator of cash flow from operations. We have included information concerning operating EBITDA in this press release because management and our board of directors use it as a measure of our performance. In addition, future investment and capital allocation decisions are based on operating EBITDA. Investors and industry analysts use operating EBITDA to measure the Company’s performance to historic results and our peer group. The reconciliation between operating EBITDA and net loss, the GAAP measure, is as follows:

Non-GAAP operating expenses represent our operating expenses comprised of sales and marketing, product development and general and administrative expenses excluding depreciation and amortization. We have used the non-GAAP operating expense to compute our operating EBITDA. A reconciliation of the GAAP operating expense to non-GAAP operating expense is as follows:
