Script Writer- Content - Kannada (Gyan Tv)

Role - Script Writer Work Location -Remote About Lokal : In 2018, we began with a WhatsApp group with a simple hypothesis: people in tier-2/3 towns weren’t really using the internet meaningfully yet. We believed that if we started with local content in their own language, they’d come back every day; once there was a habit and trust, that same space could naturally grow into classifieds and, eventually, something they used for almost everything online.This spark became Lokal . Our first instinct was to put everything in one place & one app - local updates, classifieds, jobs, matrimony and more. It worked, till it stopped working. Users gave us the insight - when one use case outweighs the others, everything else seems like noise. We listened. Like how Craigslist quietly seeded a generation of focused companies & marketplaces, we began unbundling and verticalising Today, Lokal is a house of focused apps, many products, one mission: to connect Tier-2/3+ India to the Knowledge, opportunities, tools and experts they’ve always deserved.We now operate dozens of live apps across categories like: Edutainment & Skill Learning – practical skills and learning in regional languages (GyanTV) Matrimonial Matchmaking – hyperlocal, compatibility-first partner search ( Lokal Matrimony) Agri Consulting – farmer-first advisory in local languages (Agri Lokal ) Local Jobs – blue- and grey-collar opportunities close to home ( Lokal Jobs, Sahi Jobs) Social & Community – Place to find & post social updates ( Lokal app) Emotional Well-being & Peer Support – safe spaces to talk and feel heard (Dostt & Eaze) Astrology & Guidance – instant access to trusted Astrologers via chat and voice (Astro Lokal ) Advisory Services – early bets in legal help, financial guidance, career counselling, and more Under the hood, Lokal is a discovery and access platform: local-language internet + deep Bharat insight+ AI. When someone opens a product we’ve built, they don’t wade through clutter; they get a straight line to what they came for.This is the story new teammates walk into: a company that started as a whatsapp group, became a family of focused apps, and kept one belief at the centre — access changes lives.We ship fast.
