Electrician Salim — fixed our inverter wiring in an hour, charged ₹450. Sharing his number, he's genuinely reliable.

Streetlight outside the park gate has been out for 9 days. 14 neighbours have signed the complaint — raising it with GHMC today.

Two-seater sofa, decent condition. Shifting on Sunday, so first to collect gets it.

What neighbours post
Six things your colony WhatsApp group does badly.
Group chats lose everything after fifty messages. ZingBuddies keeps each kind of post where you can find it again — searchable, sorted, and only shown to people who live near you.
Recommendations
Plumbers, maids, tuition teachers, AC servicing, packers. Rated by neighbours who actually hired them, with the price they paid.
Urgent alerts
Water tanker timing, power cuts, road digging, a stray dog problem, a break-in on the next lane. Pushed to phones within 500m.
Buy, sell, give away
Cycles, cots, cylinders, plants, exam guides. No shipping, no scammers — you're handing it to someone two gates away.
Civic complaints
Garbage, potholes, sewage, streetlights. Neighbours co-sign one complaint so it reaches the municipal body with weight behind it.
Events & festivals
Ganesh pandal duties, Diwali cleaning, society meetings, cricket on Sunday morning. RSVP so you know who's actually coming.
Help needed
A blood donor at 2am, a lift to the hospital, someone to watch a child for an hour. The fastest help is the help closest to you.
Getting in
Everyone here has proved they live here.
That single rule is what makes a neighbourhood network worth reading. No anonymous accounts, no bots, no people three cities away arguing in your feed.
- Verify by postcard, electricity bill, rent agreement or a neighbour's invite
- Your full address is never shown — neighbours see your name and block only
- One account per address, so nobody can flood the feed
- Leave any time and your posts go with you

Came the same evening for a fan repair. Fair price, no drama about a small job.

Questions
Before you join.
Does it cost anything?
No. ZingBuddies is free for residents, always. We make money from local businesses who pay to promote their services, and from paid tools for RWAs and apartment associations.
Who can see what I post?
Only verified residents in the area you chose when posting — your block, your colony, or a 2km radius. Nothing on ZingBuddies is public or searchable on Google.
Will my flat number be visible?
Never. We verify your address so we know you live there, then show only your name and block to neighbours. Your exact address is not shown to anyone.
What if my colony isn't on ZingBuddies yet?
Enter your PIN code above and join the waitlist. Once 25 verified households from the same area sign up, we open that colony and let everyone in on the same day.
How is this different from our society WhatsApp group?
A group is one long scroll that forgets everything. ZingBuddies sorts posts by type, keeps recommendations permanently searchable, notifies only the people a post is relevant to, and doesn't require an admin to add every new resident by hand.
What stops it turning into an argument?
Real names tied to real addresses change how people speak to each other. On top of that, every colony has resident moderators, and posts about politics and religion are kept out of the main feed by policy.
Your colony is waiting.
Takes two minutes to start. Verification is free and usually done within the week.
