Hyperlocal community commerce

Your neighbourhood is already selling. Give it one place to be found.

Home-cooked biryani from B-block. Fresh fruit from the aunty in Tower 3. The mehndi artist who comes to your door. Today it is scattered across thirty WhatsApp groups — on Lokam it is one list you can actually browse.

Get startedSee how it works

For everyone nearby — gated communities, apartment blocks, and individual houses.

Community selling is booming. The tools were not built for it.

In communities of a hundred to three thousand homes, residents sell food, bakes, cosmetics, bangles and fruit — through chat apps that were never designed for commerce.

  • WhatsApp groups cap out, so a seller juggles several and still misses most of the community.
  • Buyers end up in twenty or thirty seller groups — one for every person they buy from.
  • On Telegram, a listing scrolls away and is buried under newer posts by the evening.
  • Finding a nearby mechanic, pharmacy or mehndi artist still runs on word of mouth.
One place, whatever you came for

Buy from neighbours, or put your own business on the map

A business on Lokam is one listing. It can sell things, do things, or both — a home baker who also books mehndi is one business, not two accounts.

Buy from your neighbours

If you live here
  • Every business near you in one list — nothing scrolls away.
  • Order in the app instead of digging through chat history.
  • Subscribe to repeat items like a daily tiffin or a weekly fruit basket.
  • Ask a trade for a quote without hunting for a phone number.
No WhatsApp groups required.

Sell what you make

If you run a business from home
  • List once — food, bakes, cosmetics, bangles, fruit — and the whole community sees it.
  • Your catalogue stays put. It is never buried under newer messages.
  • Take orders and subscriptions in one place instead of many chats.
  • You are paid directly, into your own UPI.
One listing. The whole neighbourhood.

Offer a service

If people book you for work
  • Mehndi artists, electricians, mechanics, pharmacies, tailors — listed by what you actually do.
  • Neighbours find you by distance, inside the radius you choose.
  • Take service requests in the app, and your number is on the listing for a call.
  • Sell products too, if you want — it is the same one business.
Be the one they find first.
Simple by design

How an order actually works

Four steps, and the fourth is the one most marketplaces are vague about.

1

Sign in and find your area

One-time code to your phone. Pick your community, or just use where you are — an individual house is fine.

2

Browse one list

Every business near you, grouped by whether they work from home or their own premises. Filter by trade or distance.

3

Order, subscribe, or ask

Order from a catalogue, set up a repeat delivery, or send a service request describing the job you need done.

4

Pay them directly

You pay the business straight over UPI — we never hold your money and there is no escrow. The app records the payment so you both have the same record. How it reaches you, you arrange between yourselves.

Reach

Start inside your gates. Choose how far you go.

  • Your community first. Neighbours see you by default — that is the whole point of a resident marketplace.
  • Then a distance you set. Pick how far you will travel or deliver, and people within that radius find you.
  • Individual houses too. You do not need to live in a gated society to buy or to sell — a normal street works.
  • Nothing is hidden by an algorithm. Your listing does not scroll away, and it does not need boosting to be seen.

Your neighbourhood is already selling. Give it a marketplace.

Sign in with your phone number. No password to remember, and it takes about a minute.
