Co Founder @thelocaltribe

Feb 2015Aug 2017 · 2 yrs 6 mos · Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India

  • The Local Tribe enables people to meet in the real world driven by a sense of purpose. From neighbours in their society to anywhere in the city, The Local Tribe builds on the day to day touch points for such interactions.
  • Users can engage with their neighbours to rent out their belongings, give away things they no longer use, borrow instead of buy, sell old things etc.
  • People with skills, not necessarily professionals, can set up online stores & end up monetising their time. So knitting, story telling, home cooks, teachers, palmists etc become a centre of attention.
  • At The Local Tribe, joining an interest group does not mean sharing a Whatsapp forward. It means joining a book club & physically sharing it, joining a blood donation club & end up making Indias largest donor registry, participating in a health group & fighting fit to make your neighbourhood top the charts. It means participating in an India wide pollution monitoring grid.
  • All this and much more in a secure, verified & trusted network.
