Beta launching in Sainikpuri, Hyderabad

Your class deserves a full room.

Ilaka puts your yoga sessions, run club, tuitions, or weekend workshop in front of neighbours actually looking for something to do, then handles registrations so you don't have to.

Free for neighbours. Simple pricing for organisers. No spam, ever.

Made in the neighbourhood

This is what an ilaka looks like.

Ilaka started with our own crew in Sainikpuri: riders, makers, and friends who kept finding things to do two streets away. That is the whole idea, scaled to your block.

Why we're building this

Meet the founders.

"We kept missing out on things happening two streets away — a run club, a pottery workshop, a tuition class that would've been perfect. Ilaka started as a fix for our own neighbourhood, and it's built to work for yours next."
