One app for notices, visitor approvals, lost & found, marketplace, carpool, and society events — built for Indian apartments and gated communities. Replace five chaotic groups with one calm feed.
Every society we onboard already has them — the parents group, the maintenance group, the security alerts group, the "general" group, the "important only" group. Lokal absorbs all of them.
Pinned notices that don't get lost in 400 messages. Categorised, searchable, and read-receipts so the secretary knows who saw what.
Guard scans QR or types OTP at the gate, resident gets a one-tap notification. Delivery, guest, cab — all logged with photo and timestamp.
Lost keys, parked Activa, runaway cat, kid's water bottle — post once and the whole society sees it. Resolved status updates included.
Buy, sell, rent inside your building only. Sofa, cycle, tuition, tiffin service, baby clothes — neighbours-only, verified, no scams.
Office in Whitefield? Match with three neighbours going the same way. Daily fuel share, kids' school drop, airport runs — all in-society.
Cricket tournament RSVPs, Diwali decoration committee sign-ups, "should we change the security agency" polls — democracy, with timestamps.
Sorted by what matters — urgent first, then today's notices, then everything else. No 6am good-morning forwards.
Your guard scans, types an OTP, or matches a pre-shared QR pass. You approve from your phone — even from the office. Every entry is logged with photo, name, purpose, and timestamp.
Guard types the 4-digit code resident shared with their guest. No phone calls, no waiting at the gate.
Throwing a party? Generate 20 single-use passes from your app and WhatsApp them to friends. Guard scans, done.
Every gate entry exportable as PDF. Required for police verifications and when somebody asks "who let that guy in".
Verified residents-only. No tire-kickers, no scammers, no awkward strangers showing up at your gate. Pick up from your own building.
No per-flat charges. No setup fees. Cancel any month. We bill the society's RWA, not individual residents.
The hardest part is getting your secretary's nod. After that, our team handles the rest — Sunday evening setup so nobody misses work.

1 RWA meetingRWA shares the existing flat owner CSV (or PDF) with us. We import flats, blocks, and verify each unit number.
15 minutesOur field manager visits on Sunday evening, trains both security shifts, sets up the gate tablet, and hands over.
1 hour on-siteWe send invite SMS in 4 languages. Each resident verifies with flat number + OTP. Average society hits 80% adoption in 11 days.
11 days to 80%The first three months are free for any society. If your secretary doesn't sleep better, we'll refund the year.
We had five WhatsApp groups before Lokal. Now everything — visitor approvals, lift breakdowns, lost dogs — lives in one place. My phone is finally quiet after 10pm.
The visitor OTP system alone is worth it. We had two unauthorised entries last year — zero since Lokal. The elderly residents picked it up faster than I expected.
Best part isn't the tech — it's that our marketplace now feels like a community. My daughter sold her old cycle to a kid two floors below. That's the win.

Two-step: the RWA shares us the owner/tenant list, and the resident verifies their flat number with an OTP sent to the registered phone. For tenants, a one-tap landlord approval. We also support manual review by the secretary for edge cases like new movers.
Only you and your RWA admin (for audit purposes — required by law). Your data never leaves Indian servers. We don't sell, we don't share with marketers, we don't run ads. Society pays, residents are the user — not the product.
On your move-out date, your access to that society's feed is revoked automatically. Your profile data, chat history, and marketplace listings are deleted within 30 days. If you move into another Lokal society, your account migrates seamlessly with your verified history.
Fully DPDP Act 2023 compliant. End-to-end encrypted DMs. Visitor photos auto-deleted after 90 days unless explicitly archived by RWA for incidents. You can export or delete your entire account from Settings → Privacy with one tap.
Yes — Lokal is built for it. Hiranandani Powai uses Lokal across 7 towers and 2,800 flats with one master RWA admin and per-tower sub-admins. You can filter feeds by tower, block, or floor. Carpool and marketplace remain society-wide by default.
Free 3-month pilot for the first society in your area. We onboard your guards, train your secretary, and get you to 80% adoption — or we refund the year.
