**About [Lokal](https://himalayas.app/companies/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](https://himalayas.app/companies/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](https://himalayas.app/companies/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](https://himalayas.app/companies/lokal) Matrimony)** * ****Agri Consulting** – farmer-first advisory in local languages (Agri[Lokal](https://himalayas.app/companies/lokal))** * ****Local Jobs** – blue- and grey-collar opportunities close to home ([Lokal](https://himalayas.app/companies/lokal) Jobs, Sahi Jobs)** * ****Social & Community** – Place to find & post social updates ([Lokal](https://himalayas.app/companies/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](https://himalayas.app/companies/lokal))** * ****Advisory Services** – early bets in legal help, financial guidance, career counselling, and more** **Under the hood, [Lokal](https://himalayas.app/companies/lokal) is a **discovery and access platform**: local-language internet + deep Bharat insight+ AI.
