About 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.

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.
Gyan TV– Skill-based learning in regional languages (stocks, photography, small business & more).

Eaze– A safe space to explore emotional well-being via community-driven support.
Astro Lokal– 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
