## Description

Role: Talent Acquisition Intern

Location: Bangalore (Onsite)

Duration: 6 Months Internship (PPO / Full-time opportunity based on performance)

**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 (LokalMatrimony)
● Agri Consulting – farmer-first advisory in local languages (AgriLokal)
● Local Jobs – blue- and grey-collar opportunities close to home (Lokal Jobs, SahiJobs)
● 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 (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.
We are backed by leading global and domestic investors including Y Combinator, Sony, Global Brain, India
Quotient, and 3one4 Capital.
