Designed to connect people and build local communities, Kijiji is now available in India at www.kijiji.in. Kijiji is a new online classifieds-style website that allows local communities to meet, help one another and interact in various areas, such as real estate, jobs, community, motors and many more. The site is free-of-charge and features a simple format that allows people in the same city to meet, share ideas, and trade various goods.
Kijiji is currently available in Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi and Hyderabad and is in English. In addition to India, Kijiji can also be found in more than 19 countries and 185 cities across the world. Kijiji is a start-up business created by a small team of entrepreneurs inside eBay who wanted to help communities connect around areas of local interest.
Unique categories like Free and Charity are being launched as an opportunity to enable local citizens to be socially responsible to their city and the needy. Have something you don't want but others can benefit from, log onto www.kijiji.in and donate old toys, books or furniture and bring a smile to someone's face.
Jiby Thomas, Head, Kijiji India, said, “We see Kijiji as a great way to help Indians feel more connected to their local communities. Whether it's finding an apartment to stay, or a job, selling furniture or your car, or discussing about the city's best restaurants. Kijiji was created to be the online neighborhood meeting place for India.”
Kijiji is a simple, easy-to-use and convenient platform that meets the personal needs of the local community in a city. Kijiji can help you to buy or sell a used car, look for an apartment on rent, buy or sell a house, look for a job, and much more. You can even share local information and promote local community events.
