NearCom is India's hyperlocal community platform. Meet the people on your street, borrow a ladder, sell a sofa, discover the bakery around the corner — inside a radius you choose.
2,300+ neighbours already on the waitlist across
Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai and Delhi NCR.
We call it The Curated Commons. No noise from strangers halfway across the world. No chaotic bulletin-board. Just the people, businesses, and moments happening within a radius you define — powered by the actual math of proximity.
Every feed, marketplace item and community is filtered by literal distance from your door — computed with the Haversine formula, in real time.
OTP-verified mobile numbers, single-account rule, a visible Member Since badge. Every neighbour is a real person on your street.
DPDP-compliant, safe-harbour intermediary, no in-app payments, no Aadhaar. Just a considered space for your neighbourhood to breathe.
Your neighbourhood has stories, people, businesses and opportunities you've never discovered. NearCom brings them together.
See only what's within your chosen radius. From 500 m for tight streets to 5 km for spread-out suburbs.
Every account is OTP-verified. One person, one account. Report and block tools are one tap away.
No algorithmic outrage feed. Feed, communities and chat are ordered by proximity and relevance to you.
Your exact address is never public. No payment data collected. Full DPDP Act compliance from day one.
Every core function of neighbourhood life — feed, marketplace, communities, businesses, chat, and identity — designed to work together, not against you.
Neighbour posts, requests, lost-and-found, SOS alerts and events — all filtered by proximity, all in one calm stream. No infinite scroll designed to hijack your evening.
Buy, sell, or give away with people who live minutes away. Distance shown to the metre. Zero payment lock-in — deal offline.
Explore marketplace →Niche neighbourhood groups — Park Cleanup Crew, Weekend Runners, New Parents Circle. Public, invite-only, or admin-moderated.

Discover businesses →Direct messaging unlocks after a connection is accepted — no cold DMs from randoms. Community chats bring your group together in real time.
Sign up with your Indian mobile number. OTP-verified. One person, one account.
Drop a pin, drag a slider. From 500 m to 5 km — you decide how big your neighbourhood is.
Your feed lights up with real people, real posts, real businesses — every one within your chosen circle.
Share an update. List something. Join a group. Say hi to the family two doors down.
Drag the slider — we do the math. NearCom uses the Haversine formula to compute exact distances from your GPS point, so every post, listing and business you see is genuinely nearby. Not "same city" nearby. Walk-there nearby.
NearCom serves the whole neighbourhood, not just the loud parts of it.
Just moved? Discover your street, its people, its shops — before you've even unpacked.
List your bakery, salon, tuition class, or home kitchen — reach every neighbour within walking distance.
Playdates, tuitions, paediatricians, emergencies — find them from neighbours who've already lived it.
A calm, gentle app to stay in touch with the street. Big text, verified people, no dark patterns.
Cleanups, festivals, RWA meetings — mobilize your street with a single post that reaches only your street.
Society groups minus the WhatsApp chaos. Find plumbers, sub-let a room, or just borrow a screwdriver.
Give away a sofa, sell a bicycle, swap a mixer. To real neighbours — not strangers three cities away.
If your street has stories to tell, NearCom is where they belong.
Neighbourhood needs are specific. General-purpose social apps don't solve them — they scatter them across five products. NearCom brings them home.
