India has 0.0 billion neighbours.
No one built for them. Until now.
PadosXO is built by NearGrid Technologies, an Indian company based in Delhi NCR. It's a pincode-first neighbourhood app connecting GPS-verified residents, local businesses and service providers within a 10 km radius. Live across 135 pincodes in Delhi, Gurugram and Noida, free for all users, on Android.
The nearest people to you are the hardest ones to reach.
Open your phone and you can reach a colleague in another country in four seconds. You cannot reach the family in the flat below - between you sits a shared water tank, lift, power supply and street, and no channel at all. The mohalla didn't disappear because people stopped wanting it. It disappeared because nothing replaced what a shared courtyard used to do on its own.
The group that stopped working
Nobody checks who joined, everything arrives at the same volume, and anything useful is gone within an hour.
The app that needs a committee
Society software only starts working after your management committee adopts it. Most of India doesn't live behind that gate.
The search that ends nowhere
You search the whole internet for a plumber while the person who has used a good one for nine years lives one floor down.
Four rules we've refused to break.
Restrictions are the product
Alerts are worth something precisely because most accounts can't send them. Every time we've been tempted to widen a permission, we've asked what it would cost the people who rely on it.
Nobody buys their way in front of you
There is no advertising product and no promoted placement. The day a feed can be bought is the day it stops being a neighbourhood.
Say what we don't do
We don't vet service providers, we don't manage gates, we don't handle maintenance payments and we don't verify anyone's credentials. Being clear about that is more useful than pretending otherwise.
Depth before reach
We open one area at a time. A neighbourhood feed with six people in it is worse than none, so we'd rather be genuinely useful in 135 pincodes than technically available in 19,000.

Questions about the company.
Who owns PadosXO?
PadosXO is built and owned by NearGrid Technologies, an Indian company operating in Delhi NCR. The app launched in Delhi NCR and is currently live across 135 pincodes in Delhi, Gurugram and Noida. Press enquiries can be sent to press@padosxo.com.
What does PadosXO mean?
The name comes from pados, the Hindi word for neighbourhood or vicinity - the same root as padosi, meaning neighbour. It's a deliberate choice: this is an Indian product for Indian neighbourhoods.
How does PadosXO make money?
PadosXO is currently free for residents, local businesses and service providers, with no subscription, listing fee or commission, and no advertising anywhere in the app. We'd rather say plainly that the business model is still being developed than pretend otherwise. What we've committed to is that feed position will never be purchasable.
Is PadosXO a social network?
No, and we avoid the term deliberately. There is no follower count, no public engagement metric, no algorithmic ranking and no incentive to perform for an audience. It is closer to a neighbourhood noticeboard with verification attached.
Why only Delhi NCR?
Because a neighbourhood app with six people in your area is worse than no app at all - it teaches people the idea doesn't work. We open one area at a time and only when there are enough verified residents for the feed to be worth reading on day one.
What is PadosXO not?
It is not a society-management platform - no visitor entry, gate pass, maintenance billing or staff attendance. It is not a dating app, and not a booking marketplace: PadosXO does not vet, background-check or guarantee any service provider, and takes no part in payment. It is not a citywide social network - everything is bounded by your 10 km.
How can journalists or researchers contact PadosXO?
Write to press@padosxo.com. Boilerplate copy, logo files, founder photographs and product screenshots are available on request, and we aim to respond within two working days.
