History[edit | edit source]
Daijiworld Media was a result of an April Fools' Day prank by Walter Nandalike, the now Editor-in-chief of the portal. He had migrated to the Gulf for employment, with no knowledge of computers. Having learnt about computers, he sent his first E-mail to his friends on 1 April 2000, mentioning that he was hosting a site on the Internet. This was just meant to be a joke, but his friends took him seriously and started enquiring about the site. Surprised by their curiosity, Walter started thinking seriously about the project. He learnt computers thoroughly, and eight months later, on 14 January 2001, launched www.daijidubai.com, primarily with the objective of hosting information and news pertaining to Konkani language and society. The portal is now known as www.daijiworld.com[5] Daiji in Konkani means "relation", and the portal was started by Walter and a group of writers of the Daiji Dubai Writers Forum with a view to promote and spread awareness of culture and tradition.[6][7]
In March 2007, it established itself as a media company under the banner of "Daijiworld Media Pvt Ltd". In order to cater to the increasing demand for news from India by the NRIs, an exclusive office was opened in Kankanady, Mangalore with 40 correspondents spread across the twin districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi. On 18 July 2008, Daijiworld took a step further and inaugurated its Udupi office.
In May 2014, Daijiworld moved to its own corporate office at Bondel, Mangalore.[8]
