partnership with Infomedia India Ltd.

Bangalore- November 10th, 2006: Guruji.com, backed by Sequoia Capital India, has

relevant businesses. This will add a huge value to the end consumer and also the
customers of Infomedia who will see their reach widen as they become searchable on
the search engine of Guruji.com. Infomedia India has one of the largest data bases
of more than 500,000 businesses.

Anurag Dod, Co-Founder & CEO, Guruji.com said "This is a great partnership for us
and it is a win-win for both the companies. Infomedia is one of the leading media
companies with the largest database of business listing and we will make this
database searchable using our technology. This will deliver huge value to the
consumers who have not had this service till now. Our technology and Infomedia's
expertise in aggregating and validating data will go a long way in delivering
relevant local content to the Indian internet user" he added.

Prakash Iyer, MD, Infomedia India adds "We think Guruji.com has the technology and
the passion to deliver the best search to the Indian consumer. As the leader in
Yellow Pages in India, we wanted to partner with them to deliver our content
aggregating experience easily to a wider audience. We realize internet is a powerful

is making inroads in this sector."
