By now infamous IT czar Raju shot to limelight earlier this month after disclosing what has emerged as the country's biggest ever corporate fraud in India and has been called 'India's Enron' right from the word go.
Google's search volume index shows Raju and Obama were generating almost equal searches from India during the first six days of the year, with Obama leading by a small margin.
However, Raju jumped up the charts on January 7, when he admitted to a massive fraud of about Rs 7,800 crore.
The search volumes for Raju are estimated to have been over 10 times more than that of Obama on January 7, after which it has been declining consistently but Raju is still holding an edge over the US President-elect.
In terms of search volumes generated from various regions, Raju's own state Andhra Pradesh is on top, followed by Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Delhi. In terms of cities too, the maximum search volume has been from Hyderabad, where both Raju and Satyam are based, followed by Chennai, Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, Mahape and Delhi.
As regards searches for Obama, Tamil Nadu has been on the top, followed by Maharashtra, Karnataka and Delhi among the regions. For cities, the maximum search volumes for Obama has come from Chennai, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi.
Outside India too, Raju has generated significant search volumes from UAE, Singapore, Finland, US, Poland, Australia, UK, Canada and Germany, but has lagged Obama.
Raju has been searched for in Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Dallas and San Fransisco, while search queries have come in Polish language too, other than English.

So what?.Is someone saying this is a model for popularity?
Truly said.Obama got popularity irrespective how but Raju got Notoriety through crimnal act.
Don't you know the difference between popularity and dispopularity.One Guy let his country proud and other let his country people heads down in Shame
Shame on us INDIANS these type of frauds should be killed and the political parties that have supported him and helped him to do such frauds should be banned and their leaders executed.
One for good reason and another for bad reason...Please learn to give proper heading to the news articles.
I feel so sorry for the media people, how can they use such great terms for such people and compare to someone who is looked and taken as an inspiration, Why are we like this, please stop making him popular, He isn't worth ...for what he has done, Look at it from a basic point of view, One way we are trying to work out the 26/11 roof fallen on us and within few days our the word" Satyam" falls on all, many of us.Ver shameful act
Raju is not popular ...the correct word is NOTORIOUS
In India crooks are more popular than good guys. If you take an opinion poll Amar Singh or Dawood Ibrahim will get more votes than Dr. Manmohan Singh or Abdul Kalam
This has been the most useless information , ever presented as a news item. A few more of these kind of pages , would surely make express india be regarded as the world's number one source of phoney garbage news.
Truth will prevail of Satyam's Raju.
offcourse Raju is older than Obama, soon Obama learn from Raju how to steal. Rajesh dharia
such cases are common but raju is gentleman who has confessed but there are people in the world who do such things but deny in public.
raju cannot be called a gentleman because he has looted the company. his acts have made thousands of investors lose money, thousands of employees must not be having sound sleep for days. confession is good but he himself acknowledges tht he had no option.this shouldnot have happened.
