How It All Started

Our Story

CHAPTER 01 Goa, 2024

It Started With a Simple Search Problem

A routine conversation turned into a familiar frustration. Finding a reliable business quickly and confidently should not be this hard.

Search results were cluttered. Information was outdated. Good businesses existed, but were difficult to discover unless you already knew someone.

The conclusion was simple and uncomfortable at the same time: Goa doesn't have a quality problem. It has a discoverability problem.

CHAPTER 02

A Question That Changed the Direction

We had already solved a similar problem at scale.

Through Skoodos, India's largest education discovery platform, we helped millions of parents find schools across the country. The lesson was clear:

When information is structured, verified, and trusted, decision-making becomes easy.

So the question became obvious:

Can we do the same for Goa's local businesses?

Not just services. Businesses.

That question became BizGoa.

CHAPTER 03

Built on Experience, Focused on Goa

BizGoa is a brand under Skoodos Ventures Private Limited, built by a team that understands aggregation, search behaviour, and digital discovery deeply.

But this time, the focus is intentional and local.

Goa is full of talented professionals, skilled service providers, and unique local businesses. Many of them are known only through word of mouth or community networks.

BizGoa exists to give these businesses a structured, credible digital presence without forcing them to behave like national chains or ad-driven platforms.

CHAPTER 04

Turning Chaos Into Clarity

We decided to stop complaining and start building. We realized that for BizGoa to work, it could not just be an automated scraper. When we looked closely at the local discovery landscape, three things stood out clearly:

• Nearly 70% of listed phone numbers were unverified
• Many businesses had outdated or incorrect information
• Several listings pointed to places that were no longer operational

That insight made the direction clear. BizGoa had to be human-verified. Every listing on BizGoa goes through a check. We verify the location. We check the phone number. We ensure the business is still active.

What This Means For You

Working Phone Numbers

If it's on BizGoa, the number works.

Accurate Locations

Direct Google Maps integration that actually leads to the door.

Real Local Context

Known for fish thali? Good for sunset? We highlight what matters.

CHAPTER 05

Listening to Goa

Business Owners Said

"I have a great service and loyal customers, but tourists can never find me because I don't have a website or know how to do SEO."

Goans Said

"I'm tired of asking in WhatsApp groups for a reliable electrician. I just want a list of people who will actually show up."

So we built BizGoa. By Goans, for Goa.
