Namasthe India!

Friday, June 24th, 2011

Indian EmblemmyBantu is now ready for India. We have equipped myBantu to recognize more than 30,000 locations across India.

India has some best services like JustDial, Sulekha Classifieds, YellowPages etc.,  but consumers are not satisfied. The reasons, in consumers’ own words, are as below:

“We ask for vendors around a particular location, but they send us vendors for a different location altogether.”

“They pass our numbers to the vendors and they constantly call us and bother us.”

“They just don’t understand what I need”

“SMS or email does not reach me at all.”

With myBantu, you can overcome all these problems.

Step 0

Sign up for a myBantu account. If you have one, sign in and move to Step 1.

Step 1

Tell myBantu your preferred location.

Location confirmation

Step 2

Type what you need and get relevant recommendations

Pest control services

There’s more. If you would like to share this info with your spouse, siblings, parents or friends, you could do that as well by selecting shout out.

We hope you will now not have to worry about Googling, or calling JustDail, etc. Get started. Try these queries:

  • “Good Biryani places around”
  • “Tickets for Cars 2”
  • “Pantaloon stores nearby”

Finally, blogging on the roll!

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

OMG!!! It took us this long to get started with our blog though we have launched Private Beta of myBantu in July 2010. We have been busy with shaping myBantu to assist you better as your own personal assistant, and I’ve finally forced myself & my team with some time to setup this blog. I have now requested my colleagues to start blogging about the interesting, crazy, weird things that we have been doing so far at myBantu.

Let me first introduce ourselves, I am Bhaskar Enaganti, Founder & CEO of this venture.

Oops! Forgot to introduce our core guy – myBantu, your own Online Personal Assistant.

You may have had these needs one point or the other – “Buy Wine gift baskets”, “Two tickets to Resident Evil 3D”, “Size 8 Coral Pink Shoes” and many more. What do you do today?? You Google, browse through a few pages and select what you want, maybe ask your friends for their opinions, check the newspaper for coupons, check out for the best prices, drive down to a store nearby and finally buy them. How about getting all these done through an online assistant and you get it done for free?

Yep! myBantu does it all for you. myBantu on Facebook allows you to interact with your friends to get opinion, coupons by using features like wall posts, comments, like and many more of Facebook.

my Thanks…

myBantu is young and, trying to learn and grow from your usage. With a warm and overnice response that we received from you all, we were more enthusiastic and confident to make myBantu a more trustworthy Online Personal Assistant for you. We feel privileged and it is delightful to share with you how your feedback has helped myBantu assist you better.

I take this opportunity to thank you all for your immense support.

We are striving to make myBantu the complete assistant for you. We have many surprises for you in upcoming Beta release, and are hopeful about your good experience. We look forward to your continued feedback in making of myBantu.
