# Plota

> Plota (https://www.plota.in) is India's curated local discovery platform. We help people find things to do near them: independent cafés, scenic trails, artisan workshops, live gigs, and community gatherings across Indian cities.

Plota bridges the discovery gap between urban explorers and local culture. Instead of fragmenting discovery across maps, social feeds, and chat groups, Plota curates verified independent places and events in Jammu, Srinagar, Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. 100% free for consumers and local venues.
