India (SANEPR.com) June 26, 2008 -- MetroMela gives recommendations on your city’s best places for shopping, food, entertainment, health, wellness, family and kids needs. MetroMela has partnered with more than 5500 select merchants across 7 cities across these categories. The best deals in town from select merchants are just a SMS away now.

While announcing the launch of the Mobile service, Pankaj Joshi, Co-founder and Vice-President for Marketing and Business Strategy at MetroMela said, "Creating convenience of access to information is very important for consumers. With the launch of mobile service, MetroMela has become the first truly multi modal company in Local Information space connecting users and merchants via online, mobile and print channels. We are also the first service where users can get real time deals and discount information available at local stores on demand. When consumers anticipate a need, they setup alerts through our online portal or query for recommendations through their mobile phone. Our recommendations are based on our own research and our user ratings and comments. We take our user participation very seriously and reward the ones who write insightful comments. The more the users participate, the better we will get at recommendations.”
“Deals and discounts are an integral part of retail promotions today. However, consumers can miss the ones that they’re interested in as a number of these promotions are on for a relatively short time. MetroMela Mobile Alerts allow our users to quickly discover the latest promotions in their category of interest and their favorite stores. This service also allows merchants to reach those consumers that have needs in their categories with their promotions” Nitin Chowdhary, Chief Operating Officer of MetroMela said.
