A fair deal for sellers
Zero commission, a rich always-on storefront, and smart nearby ads that reach people at the right time and place — tools once reserved for chains, now for everyone.
We started Wisbox with a simple frustration: the best parts of every city were invisible. Great little places had no way to be found, and people scrolled past real life on a screen. So we built a way to get everyone back outside — and reward them for it.

Our story · since 2022
In 2022 we kept watching the same thing happen across Bhubaneswar: brilliant local sellers — the thela owner, the corner café, the single-chair salon — losing ground to apps that charged them everything and handed back almost nothing. Meanwhile people scrolled past real life on a screen. So we set out to fix both sides at once.
The problems we couldn't ignore
These aren't hypotheticals — they're what we heard, in person, from sellers and locals every single week.
Commissions and fees ate the margin on every single order.
Great little places simply couldn't be found next to chains that outspent them.
No way to reach a regular directly — every repeat visit was bought again.
No idea who discovered them, who visited, or how to bring anyone back.
Real neighbourhood gems were buried under whoever paid to rank highest.
Discovery had quietly died — most people defaulted to a tiny, tired loop.
"Top picks" meant top bidders, not the places locals actually loved.
Hours lost to a feed, while a whole city sat one short walk away.
How we're solving it — at scale
Not a marketplace that taxes sellers — an operating system for local commerce that grows the whole street at once.
Zero commission, a rich always-on storefront, and smart nearby ads that reach people at the right time and place — tools once reserved for chains, now for everyone.
A live, hyperlocal map ranked by what you'll genuinely love — not who paid most — that rewards you with XP, Flames and Wiskeys for actually going outside.
Geofenced advertising intelligence plus a real-world rewards loop that compounds — every new seller and explorer makes the whole network more valuable.
What we believe
Our impact
Bhubaneswar's neighbourhoods, lighting up one by one — from the buzz of KIIT Square to Infocity and the cafés of Patharagadia — as more people get outside and more local businesses get discovered.
