I have been doing some research on Indian startups lately. I was not surprised to find a desi counterpart to most web companies here. Here is a small list I’ve put together:

US Site Desi Version
Facebook Desimartini / Fropper
YouTube Dekhona
Flickr Picsquare
eHarmony.com/Match Shaadi.com /JeevanSaathi
Bizrate/Shopping.com/froogle CompareIndia
Travelocity Yatra

Here are some mashups I stumbled upon as well - Yahoo! Our City and FindMyGhar. Although some of these sites look great, I have not found many homegrown, original, purely desi startups.

I have been mulling over some ideas in my head that may work (?). Here are my Top 5 3:

  1. KundliSangam.com - Online matchmaking based on janam kundlis (indian birth certificates).
  2. DocsOrQuacks.com - Online doctor/medical provider rating site.
  3. ChaiPaani.com - Anonymous directory of all city officials that have asked/accepted a bribe to get any routine work done. Site must contain names of officials, office locations and the “chaipaani” amount.
  4. <INSERT STARTUP IDEA HERE>
  5. <INSERT STARTUP IDEA HERE>

I would love for someone to respond with a list of some good homegrown startups in India.

    Hey! Just yesterday I was thinking of a site where people can list bribery cases. Also since most folks now have camera phones it should be easy to catch these govt goons red hand. more feedback welcome
