About the job

About Lokal

Founded in 2018, Lokal started from a WhatsApp group driven by the hypothesis that residents of tier-2 and tier-3 towns were not utilizing the internet effectively. We believed that by offering local content in their native languages, we could cultivate daily engagement. As trust and usage grew, we envisioned expanding this platform into classifieds and various online services. This idea birthed Lokal. Initially, our goal was to consolidate everything into a single app—local news, classifieds, job postings, matrimonial services, and more. However, we soon realized that when one use case dominates, others become background noise. We pivoted accordingly. Just as Craigslist inspired numerous targeted companies and marketplaces, we began to unbundle and specialize our offerings.


Today, Lokal stands as a collection of specialized applications, unified by a singular mission:

To connect Tier-2/3+ India with the knowledge, opportunities, tools, and experts they rightfully deserve. Our portfolio includes a variety of active applications across several domains, such as:

  • Edutainment & Skill Learning: Practical skills and learning resources in regional languages (GyanTV)
  • Matrimonial Matchmaking: Hyperlocal and compatibility-focused partner search (Lokal Matrimony)
  • Agri Consulting: Farmer-first advisory services in local languages (AgriLokal)
  • Local Jobs: Blue- and grey-collar job opportunities in close proximity (Lokal Jobs, Sahi Jobs)
  • Social & Community: A platform for social updates and interactions (Lokal app)
  • Emotional Well-being & Peer Support: Safe spaces for open discussions (Dostt & Eaze)
  • Astrology & Guidance: Instant access to trusted astrologers via chat and voice (AstroLokal)
  • Advisory Services: Initial endeavors in legal assistance, financial guidance, career counseling, and more.

At its core, Lokal functions as a discovery and access platform, combining local-language internet access with deep insights into Bharat and advanced AI. Users can effortlessly navigate to their desired content without distractions. This is the journey our new team members embark on: a company that evolved from a WhatsApp group into a family of specialized applications, all while maintaining a core belief—access transforms lives.

We are committed to rapid development, fast learning, and building for Bharat. Our mission is supported by prominent global and domestic investors, including Y Combinator, Sony, Global Brain, India Quotient, and 3one4 Capital.
