    two engineers from India have started a local search engine for Indians, with the number of net users India has they are sure to make it big if they get more popular than google, their advantage is they are being funded by sequoia capital the company which funded yahoo and youtube in their early stages

    site is www.guruji.com

    will they make it big?????????

    Why do people keep asking such stupid questions about various new things? Get it through your thick skulls, things like Google don't happen every day.

    No they won't become the next Google -- they are copying Google, what they try next - copy Gmail etc?

    You need originality to succeed big-time on the web and these guys don't appear to have any.

    Probably not in this lifetime. It might be big in India, but that's before Google decides to do an India version (if they haven't done so already).

    Because India is one of the most fastest developing countries so over time a small invesment can result into HUGE amounts of profits due to a more stable enconomy and increasing net worth.

    India is only the start. Once they pick up the momentum, I believe they will expand all over the world.

    They could quite possibly become the Google of India and other countries. I dont think they could overtake Google in the US.
