Yes i had come across this a week or two back. I am not sure if its a Microsoft India venture.

Ths sites registrants is :Quasar Media, CP Singh, Delhi,110048

I had also written to them and asked if its was a MS venture, but am yet to get a reply.

Adding to what Anand has pointed out,
1.The site seems to be hosted on shared hosting plans and not on Microsoft's servers. Almost all of official sites of Microsoft are hosted on the same servers.
2. They have cleverly avoided use of "microsoft" in their domain name, possibly in an attempt to avert trademark infringement.
3. Then WYSIWYG editor shown in the screenshot above is an free, open-source editor written in javascript(I am not sure if its TinyMCE/Openwebware). Microsoft and open-source? NEVER
4. MOre about registant info *www.sitg.in/index.html

All said, I don't think its a venture by Microsoft India.

WYSIWYG editor is TinyMCE.
