What is PinkBazaar?
PinkBazaar is a geo-location based free global business directory. It helps you discover local shops, service providers, restaurants, events, and jobs — all in one place, tailored to your location. It was launched in 2024 from Mumbai and today lists over 1,60,000 businesses across 600+ cities around the world.
PinkBazaar is NOT a marketplace. You cannot buy or sell anything directly on this website. There is no cart, no checkout, and no payment. PinkBazaar connects you to the business — you contact them directly.

Browsing Listings

PinkBazaar stores your location in your browser's local storage. It does not share your precise location with anyone — it's only used to sort search results.

Featured Listings — What They Are & How to Get Featured
A Featured listing gets priority placement at the very top of PinkBazaar search results — above all non-featured listings. This means more visibility, more impressions, and more customers finding you.
How Placement Works
When someone searches for businesses near them, PinkBazaar ranks results in this order:
- 🩷 Featured listings — shown first, within the 50km priority zone
- 🟢 Open now listings — businesses currently open
- 📍 Everyone else — sorted by distance from the user
Being Featured puts you at position #1 for customers in your city and surrounding area.
The 50 km Priority Zone Important
PinkBazaar is a local business directory. Our goal is to show users businesses that are actually near them. So Featured placement is location-smart — your business gets top priority for users within 50 km of your location. Beyond 50 km, your listing appears in normal distance order.
Nagpur Store
✅ TOP
Salon 30km
✅ TOP
Kathmandu
❌ Normal
Delhi 800km
❌ Normal
📍 Circle represents 50 km around the user
✅ Inside 50 km — Full Featured Priority
Your business appears at the very top of results — above all non-featured businesses in the area. Users searching nearby will see you first.
❌ Beyond 50 km — Normal Distance Sorting
Your Featured status does not override distance. A user 800 km away will see nearby businesses first, and your listing sorts by distance like any other business. This is intentional — it keeps results relevant for local users.
💡 Why this rule exists
Imagine a user in Mumbai searching for a salon. A featured salon from Kathmandu (1,500 km away) showing at the top would be useless to that user. Featured is designed to boost you locally — where it actually matters for your business.
How Placement Works — 3 Scenarios
The placement depends on whether the user has set their location on PinkBazaar.
Scenario 1 — User has exact location saved
User has clicked "Detect My Location" on PinkBazaar. We know their exact GPS coordinates.
Rule: Featured businesses within 50 km appear first. Beyond 50 km → normal distance order.
Scenario 2 — No exact location, but country detected
User hasn't saved location but we detect their timezone (e.g. Asia/Calcutta = India).
Rule: Featured businesses in the same country appear first. A Pakistan or UAE business will NOT jump above Indian businesses for an Indian user.
Scenario 3 — No location at all
User is browsing without any location set.
Rule: Featured businesses appear at the top globally, sorted by newest first. There is no distance filter applied.
The Featured Badge is NOT a Paid Ad
You cannot pay to get the Featured badge. The PinkBazaar team awards it to high-quality, well-maintained listings. It's a quality recognition, not an advertisement.
