Agronomist - AgriLokal

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)

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