New Delhi: mydala.com, the 'power of group buying' portal has now has over 10,000 fans on Facebook. Launched in Delhi and Mumbai, mydala enables individuals get discounts, by simply joining other individuals that want to buy the same product and/or service.
These deep discounts are available only when a certain minimum number of individuals buy into a deal. mydala will be launched in Bangalore soon, followed by other cities. The concept is the brainchild of woman-entrepreneur Anisha Singh, who began her career on Capitol Hill working with the Clinton administration at National Women's Business Association, helping women entrepreneurs raise funding for innovative women-led businesses.
Says Anisha, Founder and CEO, mydala.com, "Facebook.com/mydala fan base has emerged as our biggest promoter which is helping spread the word to their network of family, friend and co-workers. Not many corporate Facebook pages from India have had the distinction of crossing the 10,000 fan mark. In just over two months of our launch, we already have 10,645 fans as of date, a number that is increasing every hour."
mydala brings buyers and sellers together in a fun and collaborative way by offering great deals on restaurants, bars, movies, salons, yoga and much more. Each deal offers savings ranging from no less than 40 percent and going up to 90 percent. "We have already partnered with more than 80 popular businesses across India and are in active discussion with many more. Once you get such great deals, there's no way anyone will want to pay retail again. We have also created an application that allows users to buy a deal from within Facebook itself," said Anisha.
To commemorate the 10, 000 fan base mark, mydala has also announced a contest on Facebook, where the winner will get an 8.2 MP Kodak EasyShare C140 digital camera free. The contest will be valid till the February 14. All one has to do, is to think of an innovative yet practical deal suggestion that you would want to be featured on mydala.
