South Goa Life is a project with a mission to be a force for good. We want to ensure that every business in South Goa, no matter how big or small, gets the opportunity to grow by establishing an online presence.
SSouth Goa Life is a startup social enterprise with a strong social and community sense and aims to balance profit and purpose. We keep our costs low and prices as affordable as possible.
We coach and train local young professionals into becoming web developers and entrepreneurs. They learn on the job, are paid for their work and gain valuable, important work experience.
Our objectives
- Improve the livelihood of local small business owners and grow their business by providing professional online presence at the lowest possible costs.
- Make the life of South Goan residents, visitors and guests easier with a platform to help them find every product & service they need and purchase locally.
- Coach young Goans in becoming tech savvy entrepreneurs and web developing professionals.
The team
South Goa Life was started by Nikhil Naik. At first Nikhil had a simple question and from the answer evolved an idea, a real spark actually. This soon led to a flood of ideas, a concept and even a dream. “Would we be capable to create what we envision?” “Would business owners be interested to join?” “Would visitors be able to find whatever they are looking for?”
In meetings with Merijn started a fun and interesting exploration phase and knowledge transfer which felt like going back to school. We read books, absorbed all the knowledge we needed and started creating the platform, page by page.
Soon we could see ‘it’ growing bigger and the workload increasing. Vipul joined the team as he already has more knowledge about webdesign, although he has not had the opportunity to put it all into practice. What a great opportunity.
Then we were in need of someone who could coach us in copywriting and marketing. This is where Judith volunteered to give her advice. What a great help.
We will expand the team with local young professionals when needed. One of our objectives is to coach young Goans in becoming tech savvy entrepreneurs and web developing professionals. If you feel like reaching out to us to contribute, do not hesitate to call, send a WhatsApp message or email.

The timing
We started building the platform and all the community pages in July and August 2021. We have the intention to register and have uploaded as many businesses as possible.
The next step is building the business pages and business websites for local business owners. We will fill patnemlife.in, palolemlife.in, agondalife.in and margoalife.in with online registrations as soon as we launch the platform. Our first focus lies on filling and finalising patnemlife.in by visiting local business owners for registration interviews in person.
