How it works

Three steps.
No group chat.

  1. Find it nearby.

    Classes and events in your neighbourhood, by category.

  2. Register free.

    One tap. Free for neighbours.

  3. Show your ticket at the door.

    A QR on your phone. Nothing to print.

No app to download. Ilaka works in your phone’s browser, and every listing has a link you can share.

For organisers

Your class deserves a full room.

Yoga teachers, tutors, run-club leads, potters, guitar teachers, game-night hosts. List it once and stop living in group chats.

  • List in minutes. A one-off event or a weekly class with its own schedule.
  • Share one link. Drop it in every group you’re already in.
  • A real headcount. Neighbours register free, so you know who’s coming.
  • Check people in at the door. Scan their QR ticket.
  • Keep your regulars close. Post announcements to your community and see how your listings are doing.

Why we’re building this

Three neighbours from Sainikpuri.

“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.”
