Company History
GURU Corporation was founded by Eugene Maurus with the help of Pavel Maurus simultaneously with the creation of the first site. In the beginning, it was more like a hobby than a full-fledged company.
In April 2002, the first site in the GURU line dedicated to computer games was launched - GameGuru.ru. A year later, the site gained sufficient popularity and recognition, began to earn the first money. In this regard, it was decided to open a second site in the GURU line.
In October 2003, a site dedicated to cell phones was launched - MobiGuru.ru, which also entered the top ten sites of its theme in less than a year.
In December 2004, the third site was launched - dedicated to CarsGuru.ru cars, which also entered the top ten car sites a year later.
In July 2006, the company appeared officially - a legal entity was registered, the company had the first small office in the form of one room measuring 15 meters, as well as the first 4 full-time employees.
In November 2006, the company moved to a new Open Space office measuring 35 meters, where we already had 8 people.
Due to the fact that new people appeared, the sites began to develop even faster, and GameGuru.ru with MobiGuru.ru entered the top 3 of their categories.
In April 2007, MobiGuru.ru became site No. 1 in the category "Communication" by the size of the monthly audience.
