Frequently Asked Questions

Jhanko is India's first Hyperlocal Visual Discovery Platform. "Jhanko" means "To Peek" in Hindi. We help users visually explore their neighborhood's local economy (shops, vendors, services, mobility) while empowering local sellers to compete digitally at zero commissions. Unlike quick commerce that replaces local shops with dark stores, Jhanko strengthens existing businesses.

Yes! The Jhanko app is 100% free for users. You can explore shops, track vendors, post service needs, and find mobility options without paying any fees. For sellers and service providers, we charge 0% commission on transactions. We monetize through high-quality leads and optional hyperlocal advertising.

Shop owners create 360° photos or short videos of their store showing actual layout, shelves, and current stock. Customers can then "walk through" the shop virtually on their phone, seeing real products, prices, and availability. It brings the "window shopping" experience to digital — you verify freshness before you visit or order.

When you need a service (plumber, electrician, painter, helper), you post your requirement once. All qualified workers nearby get an instant alert ("Whistle"). The first to respond connects with you directly. You negotiate price and schedule directly with the worker — no middleman, no commission. Transparent, fair, and immediate.

Street vendors (Thela) register on Jhanko with their daily route and schedule. Customers can track them in real-time on a map, see when they'll be near them, and know what products they have in stock. Instead of hoping your favorite vegetable vendor passes by, you now know exactly where they are.

Open the Jhanko app and go to Profile > Register your Business / Services. Fill in your basic details (name, shop name, address, category), and submit. You'll be live in minutes. We use AI to help with verification — you can even just speak or take photos, and our system will categorize your business automatically.

Go to your Business Dashboard and tap the (+) Add Product button. Take a photo of your product, enter the price, and it goes live instantly. You can create 360° tours by taking multiple photos or short videos of your shop. Update stock in real-time from anywhere using the Jhanko app.

Go to your Business Dashboard and select "Add Shop Banner." Upload your offer image (e.g., "50% Off Diwali Sale"), set the dates, and publish it. This banner will appear in the neighborhood feed for all nearby users.

Go to Profile > Business Services. Tap "Add New," select your service type (e.g., "Tap Repair"), and enter your standard rate. This acts as your digital rate card for customers to see.

Go to the "Growth" tab in the app. Select your target area (e.g., "2km radius"), choose a daily budget (starting at ₹50), and pay via UPI. Your business will appear at the top of search results immediately.

Quick commerce apps replace local stores with expensive dark stores and take 25-40% commissions. Jhanko empowers existing local sellers to compete digitally at 0% commission. You see real products through 360° tours instead of blind ordering. Money stays in your neighborhood instead of being extracted by mega-corporations.
