One app · Six modules

Replace five WhatsApp groups with one app.

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.

Notice Board

Pinned notices that don't get lost in 400 messages. Categorised, searchable, and read-receipts so the secretary knows who saw what.

Replaces "Society Updates" group

Visitor Approvals

Guard scans QR or types OTP at the gate, resident gets a one-tap notification. Delivery, guest, cab — all logged with photo and timestamp.

Replaces Security WhatsApp group

Lost & Found

Lost keys, parked Activa, runaway cat, kid's water bottle — post once and the whole society sees it. Resolved status updates included.

Replaces random midnight pings

Society Marketplace

Buy, sell, rent inside your building only. Sofa, cycle, tuition, tiffin service, baby clothes — neighbours-only, verified, no scams.

Replaces OLX uncertainty

Carpool & Rides

Office in Whitefield? Match with three neighbours going the same way. Daily fuel share, kids' school drop, airport runs — all in-society.

Replaces shouting on parking floor

Events & Polls

Cricket tournament RSVPs, Diwali decoration committee sign-ups, "should we change the security agency" polls — democracy, with timestamps.

Replaces printed sheets in lobby
Live society feed

A feed that actually tells you what's happening.

Sorted by what matters — urgent first, then today's notices, then everything else. No 6am good-morning forwards.

  • Filter by category — notices, sale, events, alerts, lost & found.
  • @-mention specific neighbours or whole blocks (A, B, C wings).
  • Translate any post to Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Marathi.
  • Mute the gossip threads, keep the maintenance ones.
  • Secretaries get analytics — what was read, what got engagement.

Visitor management

The gate, but smarter.

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.

One-tap OTP approvals

Guard types the 4-digit code resident shared with their guest. No phone calls, no waiting at the gate.

Pre-share QR passes for guests

Throwing a party? Generate 20 single-use passes from your app and WhatsApp them to friends. Guard scans, done.

Full audit trail

Every gate entry exportable as PDF. Required for police verifications and when somebody asks "who let that guy in".

Society marketplace

Buy from the aunty in B-704.

Verified residents-only. No tire-kickers, no scammers, no awkward strangers showing up at your gate. Pick up from your own building.

Onboarding

From signature to live feed in 1 hour.

The hardest part is getting your secretary's nod. After that, our team handles the rest — Sunday evening setup so nobody misses work.

1.

Get the nod

Show your secretary or RWA president this page. Forward our 30-second pitch video. We've already converted 240 holdouts.

1 RWA meeting
2.

Share resident list

RWA shares the existing flat owner CSV (or PDF) with us. We import flats, blocks, and verify each unit number.

15 minutes
3.

We onboard your guards

Our field manager visits on Sunday evening, trains both security shifts, sets up the gate tablet, and hands over.

1 hour on-site
4.

Residents join

We 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%

What RWA presidents are saying.

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.

FAQ

Questions, honestly answered.

Can't find your question? Email us at [email protected] — we respond in under 4 hours.

How do you verify a resident actually lives in the flat? +

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.

Who can see my data, address, and visitor history? +

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.

What happens to my account if I move out? +

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.

What about data privacy and DPDP compliance? +

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.

We're a multi-building gated community. Does it scale? +

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.

Ready when you are

Bring order to building life.

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.
