About Goankar

Goankar isn’t just a platform — it honours the businesses that Goa already trusts.

Our Story & Purpose

In every street, every village, and every busy market in Goa — there are local businesses that have quietly earned the respect of their customers. Some have been around for decades. Others are new, but already loved. They don’t shout. They don’t advertise. But people know them, trust them, and keep coming back.

Why we exist

Goankar.com was created to feature these businesses — not because they paid us, but because they deserve it. We don’t run ads. We don’t sell space. We don’t list just anyone. We only feature the kind of businesses people talk about with pride — the shop your parents relied on, the café your friends always recommend, the homegrown brand everyone respects.
