As Local Lok completes its first year in Kashi last month, we look back with immense gratitude for the stories, smiles, and connections that shaped this journey. What began as a vision to connect people through culture, hospitality, and experiences has grown into an ecosystem of creativity, ideas, and belonging.
Our team has been at the heart of it all. At the helm of it, we have these three figures: Vivek, Ashish, and Ankur; each bringing their own spark of passion and purpose to what Local Lok stands for.
As Vivek Singh beautifully puts it, “It’s not just about the work we do, but about the people behind it—the passion, dedication, and shared vision that make this journey so special.”
For Ashish, “Working here has been a truly enriching experience one filled with learning, collaboration, and creativity. This past year has been more than just work, it’s been about growth, building meaningful relationships, and seeing ideas turn into reality.”
His words echo the spirit that drives Local Lok every day.
This article would not feel complete without mentioning the captain of our ship, Veronica Asthana whose vision, warmth, and leadership continue to inspire everything we do.
Her belief in creating a space that celebrates authenticity, and community is what makes Local Lok truly one of a kind.
This past year has been more than just milestones, it’s been about growth, purpose, and community. Here’s to celebrating how far we’ve come and to the many stories yet to unfold in the journey ahead.
