Bombaat! mydala brings group buying to Bengaluru!!!

After helping Delhiites & Mumbaikars save Rs.10 lakhs in just 2 months, mydala.com logs into Bengaluru's people-power to help actualize 'deep' discounts on dining, movies, salons, & more...

Watch out for special deals on Valentine's and on Movie Tickets for 'My Name is Khan'

Bengaluru, February 10, 2010: mydala.com, the "power of group buying" portal offering one unbeatable discount deal every day, launched in Bengaluru today. With over 11,000 fans on its Facebook page already, mydala is fast becoming the go-to destination of online shoppers. It has already sold close to 1500 deal vouchers in Delhi and Mumbai, helping people save over Rs.10 lakhs off the retail price, in just 2 months. mydala enables individuals to get deep discounts that they can never get individually, by joining in groups that want to buy the same product and/or service. These deep discounts are only available when a certain minimum number of individuals buy into a deal. 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, "mydala is changing the way people go shopping, and focuses on getting you the best city-specific deals on casual dining and fast-food restaurants, shopping (clothing, handbags, shoes, etc.), health and beauty (massages, salons, gyms, etc.), recreation (movies, paintball, bowling, etc), services (drycleaners, cooking classes, dancing lessons, etc), and events (live music concerts, cricket matches, etc). Once you have benefited from mydala's really deep discounts ranging from 35% to 90%, there is no way you will ever want to pay retail again. We have already partnered with more than 80 popular businesses across India and are in active discussion with many more."

Some of the upcoming deals in Bengaluru will feature 13th Floor, one of the most- classy cocktail lounge bars in the city located at Barton Center that provides a nice little getaway right in the middle of town. Another great dining deal will be on tasty fish curries and thalis at Bay of Bengal, located on top of Bengaluru's favorite Bengali sweet shop KC Das, in city's Central Business District. Bangloreans will also get amazing discounts on a range of luxurious fitness and beauty treatments from Club Citrus, a haven of serenity wherein you can escape to a world of indulgence and beauty, with ambience filled with well-piped music and seducing fragrance, coupled with their specialty seasonal fruits, ginseng tea, fresh juices and organic meals.

Says Anisha, "Bengaluru being the IT capital of India was special for our online venture and we wanted to time our launch in the city befittingly. That's why we are launching just before the Valentine's Day on February 14. This week, besides our regular daily deal, mydala will also feature a special Valentine's deal on choicest flowers for gifting to your beau. What's more, to make our launch in Bengaluru more memorable, we're also offering tickets to the much-awaited movie, "My Name is Khan" at highly discounted prices as part of our marketing promotions." mydala also has an in-built application which allows users to buy a deal from within Facebook itself.
