company founded by Alok Bhardwaj in 2008 which is situated in Bangalore, India)
specifically for Indian users, released in 15 July 2010. Similar to Flock
browser (another browser of Mozila), the browser has several preinstalled
widgets such as Indian TV Chanels, Many Radio Channels, Social Networking

integrated into the web browser. It is dubbed as the first web browser from
India and also features the first integrated virus protection in a browser
powered by ESET. It has the facility of translating to 13 Indian regional
languages instant. You write in English and it converts to your desired
regional language when you press space bar. Epic is available as a free
