Manorama Online, the flagship portal of the Malayala Manorama group, made yet another crowning achievement featuring in the list of 50 most popular websites in India.

In a space dominated by global giants, Manorama Online is one among the few Indian websites that have bagged the honour. The rating was determined by Alexa, a global web-traffic analysis company owned by Amazon.
