CYBERMEDIA NEWS Mumbai, Dec 14
Burrp!, a social local search engine announced its entry into
India with the launch of its Mumbai and Bangalore portals. These portals enable
users to search, review and recommend local eateries, nightclubs and related
businesses in specific cities.
After five months of alpha testing and constant feedback, the
improved portal is now open to the general public. Thus far, coverage spans
categories ranging from restaurants to nightlife, paan shops to juice
centers, pubs to cafes.
The site will soon expand to include new categories such as
local events and movies. "Even with the growing density of local businesses
and rising purchasing power amongst consumers, there is no reliable online
resource that acts as a medium to connect the two. We aim to provide people with
lifestyle related information," said Deap Ubhi, Co-Founder.
"Our plan is to span 12 cities in India within a six month.
Now we plan to focus on Kolkata and Delhi/NCR," mentioned Anand Jain,
Co-Founder and
Technology Head.
