HOME} For hassle-free cleaners

They offer vacuuming services, can assist while you are moving houses and clean up after celebrations. Their blog also mentions the funny and serious experiences of their team members. They have packages to keep your home / office clean; they also customise services (in case of a one-off cleaning service). They claim that they can even be contacted at the eleventh hour and still, get the job done. The service can be done when children or senior citizens are at home.

BOOKS} Titles at discounts
Two friends Shiv Kapoor and Aneesh Satnaliwala had an unpleasant experience when they found a book they had ordered, available at a significantly cheaper price at another online store just a few days after buying it. The realisation left them thinking of ways to deal with this discrepancy in rates; from this was born This Ya That, a small idea, which was transformed into a business proposition. The website Thisyathat.com allows you to compare book prices posted on various e-commerce sites, to help you pick the best and the cheapest.

FILM & THEATRE} Spare ticket, anyone?
Getting a ticket for a movie or a play when you want it the most isn't always the easiest. But now it can become a reality. Bangalore-based product startup, Iglulabs, has conceptualised a site that comes to your rescue when you either have an extra ticket on you that you want to sell or want to get a ticket when the box office holds the houseful board. The service called spareticket.in lets you give away spare tickets at the last-minute or find one at any time. Currently, the service is available in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore but the founders of the site are planning to launch a smartphone application soon, which will allow users to browse through the spare ticket list on their phone.
