Our story

Every local business in India, discoverable within its neighbourhood.

Serckl is being built for the shop across the street from your customer — not the one across the city.

The gap

The tools we have don't fit the shops we love.

JustDial is expensive and opaque. WhatsApp groups are chaotic. Google Maps is stale. None are truly hyperlocal.

JustDial

₹1,500–5,000/mo. Opaque leads. No shop owner trusts the ROI.

WhatsApp groups

Deals die in 24 hours under memes and good-morning images.

Google Maps

Static listing. Hours are often wrong. No live offers.

Instagram

Great for lifestyle brands. Wrong tool for a local grocer.

Mission

Build the hyperlocal layer of India's digital economy.

A neighbourhood-first discovery platform for local businesses and the people who live nearby.

North Star

Every local business, discoverable within their neighbourhood.

We start in Kerala. Then a city. Then a state. Then the country.

The team

Real people, real neighbourhoods.

Serckl

"I grew up in a Kerala neighbourhood where the best puttu-kadala was two streets away, and half the town didn't know it. That's the problem Serckl solves."

What we believe

Four principles.

Neighbourhood over city.

A deal 20km away isn't a deal. We only show what's meaningfully near you.

Small shops first.

The 20-square-metre tea shop matters as much as the 200-square-metre showroom.

Honest pricing.

No commission on your sales. No opaque leads. Flat plans anyone can understand.

Neighbourhood over algorithm.

The feed is scoped to your street, not your interest graph. What surfaces near you is what shops posted for you.
