It was about 7 months back when I first came to Gurgaon. I was excited. I had heard so much about it, its malls, its restaurants in malls, its shops in malls, its life in malls! 2 weeks later I realised that for everything I had to go to the mall or my local kirana store in the building. I had no clue of other markets/shops in Gurgaon. Worse, I did not know where to find a plumber because my shower was leaking or how to find a place so that I could get my laptop repaired or where to find the menus of home delivery restaurants!!
And then I and my friends decided to do something. We made Khojguru to solve exactly all these problems. The key feature of Khojguru is that we have tried to list down as many shops/merchants as have been possible so far. The list is not exhaustive but then our efforts are still on
. What ever you want to search, whatever shop you want to find – just type it in Khojguru.
Some of my favourite searches:
- online menu restaurant
This lists the menu of a lot of home delivery restaurant with their prices - paneer tikka home delivery
I love paneer tikka. What’s your favourite? - Fruits Vegetables home delivery sushant lok
Watch out for that spelling mistakes. Soon you will see that we too have a dictionary like google
- cooking range galleria
I shifted 3 months later. And my new house did not have a gas range or a chulha or a gas burner or whatever you call it. And I was living near Galleria. Did not know then where to find one!
And there are tons more like “plumber“, “laptop repair“, “TV remote“, “road side florist“, “football” so on and so forth. What is your favourite?
There are tons of more things that will follow on khojguru. More data. Better search and more elegant displays. Maps. But we need your feedback to improve further. And don’t forget, if you got to know a shopkeeper because of us, do tell your friends and the shopkeeper about khojguru
