Founded in 2018, Lokal is on a mission to strengthen hyperlocal communities by enabling its mostly non-English users to share, interact, and transact in their regional language. Lokal users gain access to hyperlocal information such as daily commodity prices, local jobs, real estate, matrimonial, local business advertorials, and classifieds, which would otherwise be scattered across local newspapers.
The app is available in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Marathi and has 10 million downloads with a presence in 100+ districts across South India. Having achieved unmatched user density in deep tier 2 & 3 locations in India, Lokal has been supported by marquee investors, namely 3One4 Capital, India Quotient, and Y Combinator.
