Additional details
- About Lokal: In 2018, we began with a WhatsApp group with a simple hypothesis: people in tier-2/3 towns weren't really using the internet meaningfully yet.
- We believed that if we started with local content in their own language, they'd come back every day; once there was a habit and trust, that same space could naturally grow into classifieds and, eventually, something they used for almost everything online.
- Our first instinct was to put everything in one place & one app - local updates, classifieds, jobs, matrimony and more. It worked, till it stopped working. Users gave us the insight - when one use case outweighs the others, everything else seems like noise. We listened.
- Like how Craigslist quietly seeded a generation of focused companies & marketplaces, we began unbundling and verticalising.
- Today, Lokal is a house of focused apps, many products, one mission: to connect Tier-2/3+ India to the Knowledge, opportunities, tools and experts they've always deserved.
- We now operate dozens of live apps across categories: Edutainment & Skill Learning – GyanTV; Matrimonial Matchmaking – Lokal Matrimony; Agri Consulting – AgriLokal; Local Jobs – Lokal Jobs, Sahi Jobs; Social & Community – Lokal app; Emotional Well-being & Peer Support – Dostt & Eaze; Astrology & Guidance – AstroLokal; Advisory Services – legal help, financial guidance, career counselling.
- Under the hood, Lokal is a discovery and access platform: local-language internet + deep Bharat insight + AI.
- We ship fast. We learn fast. We build for Bharat.
- We are backed by leading global and domestic investors including Y Combinator, Sony, Global Brain, India Quotient, and 3one4 Capital.
