Guruji.com - India's local search engine! has been launched in Bangalore on 12th of this month. The site seems to be focused on Indian consumers. May be they wanna become Google of India!
I tried out few searches - the results and performance are really impressive. The search strings which i tried are as follows:
1. Pizza Adyar
2. Verizon Guindy
Quite a few of my search strings also failed. Its understandable as they are still in Beta! But I feel its definitely a good start.
Guys use it and share your experience ....
If you like to know more about the Investors, Management Team etc., check out this.

Gaurav Mishra, co-founder and 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 Koramangala, Bangalore " 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."
