Guruji Launches Gujarati Search And Mobile App

By Nikhil Pahwa - Tue 26 Feb 2008 05:41 AM PST

[by Cerius Shah] Guruji, the Sandstone Capital and Sequoia Capital funded search engine, has added Gujarati to its supported language searches, and also launched a WAP application (screencap) for enabled phones. The Gujarati virtual keyboard is supported only by IE currently. Also, there isn’t much of a Gujarati site. Besides, Hindi in English, amongst other languages, has been a mainstay of everything from movie posters to restaurants. Infact, I will be the first to start spewing blood if asked to write the title of this film in Hindi.
In other news, Asklaila, the Banglore search darling, launched its Mumbai version and Mumbai based lifestyle listing firm Burrp has added TV listings (in beta) adding NDTV and Zoom amongst others.

Nikhil adds: Kamla Bhatt has an audio interview with the Guruji founders here.

I have been tracking this site from very early days of its launch and am very happy to see its significant impact. This new feature will definitely give a edge to capture the search market on region basis.
Well Done Guruji. Bravo!!!!!!!
