## 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.
