Hey everyone. I’m Saswat, building a local startup called LOKALOKO.

We all know the anxiety of stepping out of a cab or train and instantly having to search & haggle with porters over fares. I am running a live pilot this week to test a new model.

Our Promise:

Verified Luggage Porters On-Demand.

Fixed upfront pricing (You just send a quick WhatsApp photo of your luggage, and we give you a flat rate).

Pay after your bags are safely dropped off at your coach/cab.

We only have the capacity to handle 50 travelers this week.

Since I do not want to spam the sub with links, if you or your parents/friends are traveling this week and want to test this out, just drop a comment or send me a DM. I will send you the details.

I'm building this on the go, so I'm here for your brutal, honest feedback and ideas. Let me know what you think!

Hey everyone. I’m Saswat, a builder from Bhubaneswar, and I'm launching a local startup called LOKALOKO.

I noticed thousands of people travel from Howrah/Shalimar to BBS every week, and we all know the anxiety of stepping off the train with heavy bags and searching or bargaining with Porters.

We are running live this week to test a new, fixed-price model so you can pre-book a verified Porter before you even board your train.

How it works:

Visual Pricing: You fill your name, train number & send a quick photo of your luggage.

Fixed Fares: Based on the photo, we give you an exact fixed price. (Our base fare is ₹296 for 1 LOKALOKO Porter handling up to 4 standard sized bags. Oversized/heavy cartons/bags will cost a bit more, but you know the exact price upfront).

Zero Haggling: A verified LOKALOKO Porter meets you right at your coach at BBS.

Pay: You pay after your bags are safely dropped off.

We only have the capacity to handle 50 travelers this week. If you (or your parents/friends) are traveling to BBS this week and want to test this out, drop a comment or send me a DM and I will share you the details.

I'd love to get your brutal, honest feedback and ideas on this.

(Note: Explaining the exact mechanics below so everything is 100% transparent.)

Hey everyone. I’m Saswat, and I'm building a startup called LOKALOKO.

We all know the anxiety of getting out of a cab/train with heavy luggage and instantly getting swarmed by porters demanding multiple quotation of fares, and sometimes you just can't find them at all. I am running live this week exclusively at Bhubaneswar Railway Station (BBS) to test a fixed-price model.

How it works:

Simple Details: You just fill your Train Number and Number of Bags, and click on the Find a Porter button that opens a pre-filled WhatsApp message to our business number.

Visual Pricing: You send us a quick photo of your luggage on WhatsApp.

Fixed Fares: Based on the photo, we give you an exact fixed price. (Our base fare is ₹296 for 1 LOKALOKO Porter handling up to 4 standard sized bags. Oversized/heavy luggage will cost a bit more, but you know the exact price UPFRONT).

Zero Haggling: A verified LOKALOKO Porter meets you right at your coach or cab.

Pay: You pay LOKALOKO after your bags are safely dropped off.

We only have the capacity to handle 50 travelers this week. If you (or your parents/friends) are traveling to or from BBS this week and want to test this out, drop a comment or send me a DM and I will share the details.

I'm building this on the go and taking a lot of notes, so I'd love your brutal, honest feedback and ideas!
