Local search gets intelligent

Your search for local information on and around your locality is set to end soon. Four Interactive, a Bangalore-based start up has developed an intelligent search engine www.asklaila.com, which aims at giving online search a shape ‘never’ seen before.

To start with, the company has launched the search engine for Bangalore city, and plans to include local information of all metros and 22 cities in the next one year.

The technology involved in the search engine is an advanced algorithm that dissipates all available information and contextualises each word or a set of words to search a desired information, to give accurate local information.

The search can give information for instance on the availability of home-delivered food, place for hair cut, priest or a shop to repair mobile phones or electronic goods with options of zeroing in on the service to the micro level up to the block, phase and even lane level.

The company was founded in December 2006 by Kiran Konduri and Shriram Adukoorie who started their careers in Wipro and then joined Microsoft. Konduri was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug about 10 years ago.
