Job description

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.
