NearFi is a geo-messaging or location based communication tool. NearFi allows you to send a message to people near you in your vicinity, neighborhood and city. Get last minute real time information, help or alerts in a location. You can think of NearFi as a location based Reddit, Twitter and Clubhouse.
While WiFi is for online information, NearFi is for reaching out to people near you for real time last minute information
While WhatsApp is mainly a private network for friends and family, NearFi is a public network for people in a location
NearFi allows you to communicate with people near you, within 100 meters to people across your city. Just as in real life where we meet new people and make new connections in our everyday lives, NearFi not only makes this easier but extends our reach and opens up new possibilities

NearFi also facilitates communication between people belonging to the same tribes, people who share deep rooted connections based on their place of origin, cultures, languages, education etc., where people religiously follow their common interests and beliefs and help each other
