About The Position

In 2018, Lokal began with a hypothesis that people in tier-2/3 towns weren’t using the internet meaningfully yet. They believed that starting with local content in their own language would foster daily usage, leading to habit and trust, which could then grow into classifieds and eventually become a platform for almost everything online. This led to the creation of Lokal, initially an all-in-one app for local updates, classifieds, jobs, and matrimony. Recognizing that users preferred focused experiences, Lokal began unbundling and verticalizing into a house of focused apps, each with a singular mission: to connect Tier-2/3+ India to knowledge, opportunities, tools, and experts. Lokal now operates dozens of apps across categories like Edutainment & Skill Learning (GyanTV), Matrimonial Matchmaking (Lokal Matrimony), Agri Consulting (AgriLokal), Local Jobs (Lokal Jobs, Sahi Jobs), Social & Community (Lokal app), Emotional Well-being & Peer Support (Dostt & Eaze), Astrology & Guidance (AstroLokal), and Advisory Services. Underpinning these products is a discovery and access platform powered by local-language internet, deep Bharat insights, and AI. The company emphasizes shipping and learning fast, building for Bharat, and is backed by investors including Y Combinator, Sony, Global Brain, India Quotient, and 3one4 Capital. This role is for a Video Editor to join the Marketing/Product team, responsible for crafting engaging video content for social media and branded campaigns.
