MUMBAI: Guruji.com, the Indian internet search engine by two IIT Delhi graduates, has announced the launch of its Gujarati language search service.

Guruji.com already has language searches in Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Telugu, apart from English. The vernacular regional search is to make the user search easier and enable better searches for terms typical to the Gujarati dialect.

Guruji.com co-founder and CEO Anurag Dod said, "With internet usage gaining rapid popularity in India, removal of language barrier will further hasten the growth of regional language search in the country. The increasing adoption of Internet in B and C cities, are causing more and more Indians to adopt and explore newer opportunities by participating in this growing medium."

"With the Gujarati launch, we aim to fulfill the information needs of the western region", added Guruji.com co-founder and COO Gaurav Mishra.

Guruji.com provides Indian language search, covering a range of specific content - news, entertainment, travel, astrology, literature, business, education and more.
