Lokal is building a community of journalists across towns and villages in India who tell stories that matter. Stringers trained by Lokal furnish real time information from the furthest corners in India, lending their voice to the unheard. Lokal started as an informative WhatsApp group in Kodad, a small town in the Suryapet district of Telangana. Today, the Android app has become the go-to information hub for millions of people in 25+ districts in the states of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
