In today’s world of global connectivity, people often remain disconnected from what is happening right around them. Recognizing this gap, Mr. Venkata Revunuru, Founder & CEO of Snaplocal and a technologist-turned-entrepreneur, envisioned a platform that would bring locals closer together within their respective areas and localities. That vision became Snaplocal, India’s first hyperlocal social app designed to strengthen real-world local connections.

Launched with the mission of empowering communities, Snaplocal enables people to share and discover local news, stories, jobs, buy-and-sell opportunities, safety alerts, and events — all within a customizable radius of 1–30 km. More than just another social network, Snaplocal is a digital hub for local areas that gives every local person a voice and helps communities thrive through trusted connections.

His journey to Snaplocal was driven by a deep belief that technology should solve real problems at the grassroots level. With a strong background in technology and leadership, he combined his expertise with entrepreneurial drive to create a product that meets the everyday needs of people in India’s towns and cities. His leadership is rooted in innovation, inclusion, and impact, with a focus on creating scalable solutions for local communities.

The app has already gained recognition as a “Made in India” innovation aligned with the Vocal for Local movement, and its early adoption has been especially strong in the Telugu states.

Snaplocal’s growth strategy includes expanding across multiple Indian cities while continuing to refine its features for hyperlocal commerce, networking, and safety alerts. The vision is to reach 500,000+ users in the near term and to establish Snaplocal as the go-to app for people in local areas across India.

This pioneering work has not gone unnoticed. He has been honored with prestigious recognitions such as the Global Recognition Award 2025 and the Indian Achievers’ Award 2025 for Entrepreneur of the Year, underscoring both his entrepreneurial leadership and Snaplocal’s social impact. These honors highlight how Snaplocal is not just a startup but a movement to redefine how local areas engage and collaborate.

Looking ahead, he is committed to scaling Snaplocal into a platform that empowers millions. His vision is to create digitally connected, self-reliant localities, where small businesses can grow, locals can stay informed and safe, and communities can come together around shared values.
