NearFox: A hyperlocal news, events and interaction platform. Essentially your locality’s app!

Hello (Rodin)hooders,

We are NearFox, your locality’s app!

NearFox provides you everything from your locality. You get local news within 4 KM radius from your location, you get all the interesting events from your city, and what’s more – you can interact with your neighbors right on the app! Ask a question, answer a question, submit a news or story, list an event – it is your app! And yeah, of course, free of charge 🙂       

With more than 1000 downloads from Powai in just one month, we are working towards establishing a platform where your voice gets an avenue to be heard in the neighborhood! From politicians to shopkeepers, from activists to students, from NGOs to working professionals, everyone submits news to NearFox. The interaction forum is already creating whole new wave of community engagement in Mumbai. Currently we are operational only in Mumbai, and will be coming to your city soon.

Led by IIT Bombay alumni, our team is diverse mix of engineers, journalists and social media and marketing experts. With three successful startups to his credit, one of our founders is a big name among entrepreneurs in the Powai Valley. With an ex-Financial Express editor on board and developers from IITs, our team is committed to deliver nothing short of the very best.

Highlights of the app: 

1. News: You can select your location and get the news within 4 km radius

2. Events: Browse prominent events from Mumbai and local events from 4 km radius

3. Ask your neighbor: We have a question and answer based forum where you can ask questions or answer them and thus interact with your neighbors

4. Submit: You can submit your news (the initiatives taken by you in your society, issues faced, incidents, etc.) and events that are conducted in the society.

5. Credits: When you submit a news, we highlight your name as source of the story

6. No charges: Our app is free, no charges for reading or submitting any information

We are adding more features and suggestions are always welcome.
Play Store link is here.

Looking forward for comments, replies, suggestions.
