Meta Ads Video Editor-Kannada (Gyan Tv )

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.This spark became Lokal . 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 like

• Edutainment & Skill Learning – practical skills and learning in regional languages (GyanTV)

• Matrimonial Matchmaking – hyperlocal, compatibility-first partner search ( Lokal Matrimony)

• Agri Consulting – farmer-first advisory in local languages (Agri Lokal )

• Local Jobs – blue- and grey-collar opportunities close to home ( Lokal Jobs, Sahi Jobs)

• Social & Community – Place to find & post social updates ( Lokal app)

• Emotional Well-being & Peer Support – safe spaces to talk and feel heard (Dostt & Eaze)

• Astrology & Guidance – instant access to trusted Astrologers via chat and voice (Astro Lokal )

• Advisory Services – early bets in legal help, financial guidance, career counselling, and more

Under the hood, Lokal is a discovery and access platform : local-language internet + deep Bharat insight+ AI. When someone opens a product we’ve built, they don’t wade through clutter; they get a straight line to what they came for.

This is the story new teammates walk into

a company that started as a whatsapp group, became a family of focused apps, and kept one belief at the centre — access changes lives . 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
