TranslateAbout Adukoo
Building a fairer global classifieds marketplace — one verified seller at a time.
Adukoo is a global online classifieds platform that lets individuals, small shops, medium businesses, and large enterprises post ads, open Digital Stores, and reach buyers in 195+ countries — without the cost, middleman fees, or opaque algorithms of legacy marketplaces. We are built and operated by Adukoo Tech, an independent technology company headquartered in India and serving a worldwide audience.
The simplest way to describe what we do: think of Adukoo as the digital high-street for everyone. A farmer in Punjab can list a buffalo for sale. A boutique in Mumbai can run a Digital Store with their entire jewellery catalog. A software developer in Lagos can publish their freelance services. A homeowner in São Paulo can list a flat for rent. Every one of them shares the same storefront, the same chat surface, the same verified-seller machinery, and the same fair-discovery search algorithm. No paid placement to "win" — quality listings win.
Our mission
Classifieds platforms have shaped how the world buys and sells for the last 25 years. But almost all of them now charge sellers per listing, hide top placement behind paywalls, mix sponsored content with organic results without disclosure, and treat their users as inventory to be sold to advertisers. We think the next generation of classifieds can be different.
Adukoo's mission is to keep posting an ad genuinely free — no per-listing fee, no "boost or stay hidden" tax, no surprise paywall when you want to message a seller. We pay for the platform with a single tasteful display-ad slot per page (clearly labeled Sponsored) and optional Verified-Business subscriptions for sellers who want 360° analytics, multi-store dashboards, and priority dispute resolution. That's it. Sellers keep 100% of every sale.
What makes Adukoo different
195+ countries, automatic currency formatting, native distance + region detection. A seller in Manchester reaches a buyer in Manila with one ad.
Email + phone verification for every seller. Optional Business Verification (GSTIN / Tax ID / Company Registration) for stores who want a trust badge buyers can see at a glance.
Buyer-to-seller messaging happens in-app via WebSockets, real-time. We never insert ourselves into the transaction. We don't take a cut. We don't see the price you actually settled on.
If you sell regularly, open a Digital Store — your own URL like adukoo.com/store/yourname, a banner, an inventory dashboard, and customer reviews. Free for the first store, optional Pro tier for multi-store owners.
We use Gemini to polish ad titles (one click), auto-translate listings into the viewer's language, and detect prohibited content (weapons, illegal goods) before it goes live. The seller stays in control of every word.
Default search radius is the buyer's city. Want to widen to state, country, or globe? One tap. We never force a global view on someone trying to buy a used bicycle from their neighborhood.
Our story
Adukoo started in 2024 as a side project. The founder, a software engineer who had grown frustrated with the state of online classifieds in India, wanted a platform that didn't charge sellers ₹49 to "boost" a listing for 7 days. By early 2025 the prototype was running for a small private community of friends and shopkeepers in Hyderabad. By mid-2025 it had expanded organically across 20 Indian cities. By late 2025 the Adukoo Tech company was incorporated and the platform opened to a global audience.
Today Adukoo serves verified sellers and curious buyers in 195+ countries. The engineering team is small and lean — we ship multiple times a week and pay obsessive attention to what real users tell us. If you found a bug, want a feature, or just have feedback, write to us — we read every email and we reply.
