1. I can’t believe you folks are comparing Just Dial with sites like AskLaila, Dwaar. Just Dial was built over 8-10 years and just look at their accuracy and service. They beat other portals even on valuation

   All sites in India are wasting their time, they can never beat JustDial.com

3. I have used justdial over 100 times they have never failed me. The guys running this company seem to know the space well. They way ahead of the other names mentioned here.

4. Dear Sandy,
   I hope you guys also have an offline strategy apart from having one for online stuff. Justdial doesn’t only exist as a website but it have offline presence as well in all the 46 cities and that too with a single number 39999999. It will be very tough for other players to match the Justdial presence. I have told earlier and I say it again that Justdial is already a winner. But competition is always good. Let us see what you guys have in store.

   Regards.

5. Hi Pranav,

   Thanks a ton for this poll. It was enlightening for me.
   I never had used any other search engine besides Google. And I used to spend most of my time to optimize my queries on Google to find local things.

   But when I came across this poll I decided to try the top 3. JustDial, AskLaila and Burrp. Burrp was disappointing. AskLaila only provided results which were popular ones but failed for very minute searches.

   JustDial was amazingly impressive and within a few minutes I got hooked and also got phone numbers I had been searching for weeks of some institutions around my neighbourhood! I simply cannot believe my eyes when I see the results in JustDial. It wins my vote a million times!

   Once again, thanks for this poll and keep creating such polls so that the readers like me are educated of things they did not knew existed.

6. hehe… seems like just dial employees have lots of free time for voting… i dont think justdial is better then Google local or Guruji local… both of them have entire justdial crawled site…

7. alok,i agree that justdial wouldnt exactly be a startup — but one of the goal of this poll is to see which service is popular with people.

8. Hi! Pranav,

   Man U r doin a great job here! How do u get time to blog.
   Anyways, i read few of ur articles, and they are (in on word) true.
   E.g. Herd mentatlity. People just critised u there. I do too alot, but ONLY when therez something worng.
   Common, guys u can find time to find out the fact and criticize the writer, but not write an article and have a blog of ur own.

   This is his blog, he likes to write, so he just wrote it.
   He might not be right in some of his facts, but wot the heck, hez just deliverin a message.

   All you critisizer, what the hell do u know, if the dates u found out abt the startups are accurate? They all lie.

   This poll on LOCAL serach engine, was just to have an idea which one’s most popular.
   Do U a****les, get the BASIC IDEA?????????
   IT’s a DAMN POLL!

   BTW! All those copycats startups, dont actually want to create anything new and give it to people.

   They just invest a tiny amount of money, copy codes and ideas of popular sites, launch sites, cheat customers with buggy codes in their “startup” websites and cheat sponsors and then they think it will, itslef become most popular site and then they’ll SELL it for BIG BUCKS!!!

   or SHUTdown their STARTup as soon as they make profit.

   Profits comes when you put ur time, money and heart in your project.

   I have been using JD even before they launched their site. Their phone service is 10/10 and better everytime!

   Pranav, dont pay attention to these suckers, but do take an idea of overall, thinking of your reader through their comments and feedback. It’ll help you improve.
