We at Microsoft are working hard to deliver unmatched immersive experiences to the next 25 million consumers, powered by our first and third-party devices and our capabilities in the consumer cloud space.” said Chakrapani Gollapali, Country General Manager, Consumer Channels Group.
Bing users in India can now use Venue Maps.
