Brand MYSearch

MYSearch is India’s First Mobile Telephone Directory, an app that brings Yellow Pages live on your smartphone. The app functions by automatically detecting the location of its users, and then finding places or services that are of importance to them.

For instance if the user were looking out for restaurants or for that matter even plumbers in the vicinity, MYSearch is the first go-to-app. Being extremely efficient and highly localised, MYSearch captures even the smallest of shops and grocers besides the regular and famous ones. Be it doctors, lawyers, mechanics, plumbers or anything at all, MYSearch finds their information, with reviews and ratings, presenting them from the closest to the furthest in terms of distance; making it extremely convenient for the user.

The user interface of the app is designed so that contacting the desired service or place of interest is made extremely simple and quick. A single click to call, email or visit the website and another to find the best route or the shortest distance to reach one’s destination.

MYSearch makes life simpler especially for those who are new to a city. Other than providing quick, useful and accurate information including emergency call numbers, MYSearch gives its users the access to a huge database of other MYSearch users (users are not obliged to give their personal details if they do not wish to publish their information on the app). In addition the app has a star feature called Blood Donor. It lists all the MYSearch users who are blood donors along with their blood groups.

Another feature called the Chat Box allows all app users to be in constant touch with each other. These and many more well thought-out and perfectly executed features give MYSearch users the feeling of being localites even in a new city, instantly.

In addition to being on the essentials list for travellers, MYSearch also proves to be a good tool for advertisers. MYSearch gives many small businesses the visibility they desire. Offices, shops, merchants and many others can use MYSearch as a cost effective medium to reach out to an average of 5.5 Lakh Android users in their city.

One can easily download MYSearch for free from Google’s Play Store. Following which there’s a two-step registration process wherein the user is asked to fill in his personal details. Once may choose not to publish his personal information on the app, but in any case it’s totally worth it.

Inception

MYSearch was founded by Mr. Ranjeet Jena who is the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the company.

Concept. Conception.

MYSearch has been launched in Pune since June 2013 under Prominds Mobitech Private Limited, which was incorporated in February 2013. The idea was to help people find anything, anytime and anywhere. And what better a medium than an app that would have a personal directory with all emergency numbers and many other services in a place as handy as a phone. After all India alone comprises of 78.7 Million Mobile Internet Users out of which 24% use the internet to search for places and services. In this net-savvy generation, MYSearch is sure to be the next big thing in localisation.

The Prominds team thought this app would be particularly helpful if the user were not a localite. Every feature in MYSearch was thus developed keeping in mind people who are new to a place. The team made it possible for anything and everything to be found in increasing order of distances, so users could contact and reach the person or place concerned, within no time at all.

MYSearch is an environment-friendly and socially-conscious app. It promotes ‘saving paper’ by replicating the complete yellow pages on an app and the special blood donor feature comes of real help in time of need.
