Sulekha
What Sulekha is
Sulekha is a local-services marketplace connecting people with professionals in home services, education, events, and other categories grouped as Home, Life, and Self. Users describe a need, and Sulekha matches requests using service type, location preference, and other factors. Providers can create free business listings, add reviews and portfolio photos, and use the business app to choose services and localities or pause and restart lead flow. Its Pay Per Lead model sends enquiries to matching providers and deducts prepaid balance only when a provider accepts a lead. Prices and availability vary by request, location, category, and paid-provider priority. New profiles must submit required documents before trial leads begin. Sulekha offers web, Android, and iOS access, plus Facebook and Instagram connections through Sulekha IMPACT. The privacy policy says personal information may be shared in response to enquiries, while users can request access, correction, deletion, or withdraw consent. Paid service is listed from $10; ProManage starts at Rs. 2000 per month.
