BharLo (AatmanirBhar Local) – A technology platform designed to connect local businesses and service providers directly with customers.

BharLo is an innovative app that helps people set up their own shops while also supporting existing local businesses. Users can explore a variety of nearby shops, services, and products, all displayed on a digital platform that helps sellers gain visibility and helps buyers find what they need in their community.

For Buyers

Buyers are an important part of the BharLo platform. They can easily discover and connect with local businesses. The app offers a simple and user-friendly interface that allows buyers to:

• Explore Nearby Shops: Browse a list of shops registered in their area, offering a wide range of products and services.
• Create Carts and Place Orders: Add items or services from different shops to their cart and place orders quickly.
• View Order History: Keep track of pending and past orders to stay updated on their purchases.
• Chat with Sellers: Use the in-app chat feature to communicate directly with sellers about prices, services, and any specific requests.

For Sellers

Sellers on BharLo can include those offering garments, home-cooked or baked food, home-grown vegetables, farm produce, groceries, and various local services, not limited to these categories. The platform allows these sellers to showcase their products and reach a larger audience. BharLo supports local businesses while ensuring a safe marketplace by not allowing the sale of items related to sex, medicine, drugs, weapons, liquor, smoking items, and other illegal items.

Service providers such as painters, electricians, cooks, carpenters, and cleaners can also list their services, sharing their rates and areas of expertise.

User Roles in BharLo

No Payments Through BharLo

BharLo acts as a connection platform rather than an online store. Payments, order fulfillment, and service completion are handled directly between the seller and buyer. BharLo does not take responsibility for billing, delivery, product quality & quantity, or returns & refunds. All transactions happen directly between the parties involved.

Supporting Local Entrepreneurs and Buyers

BharLo aims to help new entrepreneurs and small business owners, with a special emphasis on supporting lady entrepreneurs. By making it easier for women to showcase their talents and offerings, BharLo fosters an inclusive environment for local business growth. The platform helps sellers grow and succeed while ensuring that buyers have quick access to the products and services they want.

By promoting local growth and self-reliance, BharLo embodies the spirit of “AatmanirBhar Local”.
