One street shop. Several outlets. A larger brand.
Big ideas.
Locally relevant.
NearPados helps a business become discoverable where it can be useful. A clear listing, the right outlet or service point, and a relevant offer connect an online presence to a real place.
For brand collaborations, the existing offer campaign tools bring together selected businesses, locations, radius and dates. Multi-location collaborations can be coordinated with Admin—without asking a business to select arbitrary users.
- Choose the business, outlet & offer
- Set location, radius & active dates
- Check eligible, opted-in audience
- Open the exact offer or business
AI helps with the first draft.
A business photo can help extract listing details. The owner reviews, edits and confirms them. AI does not guarantee accuracy, publish unreviewed facts or promise customers.
Our geospatial logic does the local matching.
NearPados-developed campaign logic checks distance from the selected outlet or campaign point against its radius, using eligible location context. Active dates, notification preferences, blocks, account status and frequency caps also matter.
Reach with boundaries.
Eligible campaigns can deliver in-app notifications and queue mobile push notifications, linking to the exact offer or business. Delivery depends on permissions, device tokens and service availability. No continuous background tracking is required.
Learn from available activity.
Business and Admin tools surface campaign activity such as audience, delivery and recorded engagement. Views or clicks are not a promise of visits or sales. Partnership access and campaign controls depend on your role.
Real connection starts with something in common.
A shared place. A useful skill. An upcoming event. A question someone nearby can help answer. NearPados makes room for these connections alongside local stories—not a promise to replace your offline judgement.
Choose what you share, check who you’re talking to and keep Report, Block and Community Guidelines close at hand.
Less searching. More discovering.
Life happens nearby.
Start there.
From a plumber around the corner to a conversation down the street, NearPados connects useful local discovery with everyday community life.
Ask. Find. Get going.
Ask NearPados for local services in your own words. Your request and chosen area help shape business options and useful next steps.

Open Emergency HubIntroducing NearPados Crowd Pulse
Your neighbourhood,
in the now.
Local signals. Smarter discovery. A more connected community.
Around supported Pujo venues, Crowd Pulse brings together available traffic context, recent local reports and privacy-protected activity signals to estimate crowd pressure.
- 01See pressure and trends where an estimate is available.
- 02Read when it was last updated, next to the colour.
- 03Use the context to compare places and plan your next stop.
An estimate, not an exact headcount. Coverage and freshness vary. No live reading does not mean the place is empty. Follow guidance from local authorities.
HOW TO READ IT · ILLUSTRATION, NOT LIVE DATA
Estimate available
A signal, with context.
When a reading is available, check the crowd level and when it was last updated before you plan the visit.

Follow the lights.
Find the local stories.
Every Pujo registered on NearPados has its own page. Open it for photos, the latest updates, the place, and Crowd Pulse when a reading is available. Share that page with a unique code so people can see just that Pujo, without signing in.
A committee can add Digital Anudaan. The UPI id or collection QR opens the phone’s pay app, and the money goes straight to the committee account. NearPados does not hold it.
Listing coverage varies. Published venue schedules and general festival guidance are labelled separately; confirm timings with the organisers.

03 · Radius-based marketing
Market in your location radius.
Grow from every outlet outward.
Offer campaigns use location radius and dates around a selected outlet. You choose how far to grow from each shop—tight for one counter, wider as you add outlets. Eligible, opted-in neighbours can see a relevant offer nearby—and during Pujo when that context applies. Crowd Pulse stays separate.
Freedom to grow: set the location radius that matches your ambition for each outlet.

04 · Storage hub & sell (next)
Hold stock. Sell on NearPados.
Local hubs for real inventory.
Anyone with stock—a shop storeroom, a neighbourhood warehouse, or a brand buffer—can list what they hold and sell through the NearPados platform. FMCG and local brands can place inventory in trusted hubs and reach neighbours with the same location-radius tools shops already use.
Turn storage into sellable presence: stock holders grow sales; brands get neighbourhood reach.
