Press Release Body = Bangalore- January 4th, 2006: Guruji.com, backed by Sequoia
Capital India, has announced city search for Pune. This will help Pune users to get
acurate search results and thus improving the user experience.Guruji.com is focused
on providing better search results to Indian consumers, by leveraging proprietary
algorithms and data in the Indian context. The company has assembled a farm of
servers to index the entire universe of Indian websites and is using propriety
algorithms to go deep into the Indian internet domain and fetch locally relevant
results to search queries of Indian consumers.



According to a study done by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI),
there are about 65 million people who use search engines in India and the current
size of market for search engine advertising is $50 million. This market is expected
to grow significantly over the next five years.



Anurag Dod, Co-Founder & CEO, Guruji.com said \"What sets us apart is our focus on
the Indian market and the Indian consumer. When an Indian consumer types in a search
key word like \"newspaper\" the results should show him websites of the top Indian
newspapers rather than other news sites which are not relevant to him. We have
worked very hard to build the best local search product in the market.\" he added.



Gaurav Mishra, Co-Founder & COO, Guruji.com explains \"90% of internet search queries
are local in nature, and Guruji.com will deliver better search results than any
other search engine in these instances. For example if a user types a search \"Pizza
in Pune \" or \"Chinese restaurant Juhu, Mumbai\" the user will be able to see local
business listings as well as articles, reviews, blogs, or any other web references.\"
