What is Lokal -

Access & Empowerment for Bharat through AI and Local Language Internet

Lokal is India’s largest regional content and services platform, built for the 500 million+ internet users from tier 2+ towns.

Founded by IIT alumni, Lokal started in 2018 to address the lack of relevant local content and now goes beyond content to solve real, everyday problems of Bharat. Growing as a house of apps, Lokal is evolving into an AI-driven discovery and access platform—connecting users in tier 2+ India with the experts, tools, and knowledge they’ve historically lacked access to:

  • Lokal Matrimony – Location-based matchmaking apps focused on hyperlocal compatibility
  • Lokal Jobs – Hyperlocal job discovery platform connecting blue- and grey-collar workers with nearby opportunities
  • GyanTV – Skill-based learning in regional languages (stocks, photography, small business & more)
  • Dostt – Make new friends through voice chats, games, and real, authentic conversations
  • Eaze – A safe space to explore emotional well-being via community-driven support
  • AstroLokal – Instant access to trusted astrologers through audio and chat
  • And more – 10+ new apps in testing & exploration across agricultural advisory, legal advisory, financial guidance, and AI-powered personal assistants
