Yahoo! India announced the launch of its new local information destination, Yahoo! India Local (beta), available at local.yahoo.in. This new offering provides a compelling user experience with relevant local information that impacts users' daily needs. Yahoo! India Local is presently available across Delhi/NCR, Chennai, Mumbai and Bangslore. It provides rich local information such as business listings, maps and directions, local events, and current movies. Users can get listings from a wide range of categories such as restaurants, pubs, shopping malls, hospitals, schools, tailors, banks, health and fitness, and 24 hour pharmacies.

Users can write reviews, leave footprints, mark businesses on the map, add listings or events on Yahoo! India Local. Contributions shared by the community provide users with real insights into their experiences, thereby making them better informed. Local businesses across categories can now get listed for free on Yahoo! India Local. When users search for those categories, the businesses can get discovered. This product was conceptualized and developed by the Yahoo! India team in collaboration with the Yahoo! India Research & Development team.

With "Essentialist", Yahoo! India Local aims to provide practical solutions for common problems. For example, relocating to Indira Nagar in Bangalore can get you an "Essentialist that will provide details of essential services such as nearest gas agency, cable TV provider, provision stores, pharmacies, packers and movers, etc. Or if you're getting married in Kormangala, Bangalore, the Essentialist will give you salons for men and women, apparel shops, jewelers, event management companies, catering services, party halls and hotels in that locality. By integrating web and mobile, Yahoo! India Local allows users to download or share information via SMS or email. For more information about Yahoo!'s current offerings, please visit: www.yahoo.in
