Our Story

Old town Tallinn cobblestones at dusk

Kesk was founded in 2025 by Balamurali Pandranki, who is originally from India and moved to Estonia to pursue his vision of creating a fair platform for small businesses. Frustrated by the high commission fees charged by traditional delivery platforms, he decided to create a better alternative.

The name "Kesk" comes from the Estonian word for "middle" or "center," reflecting our mission to be at the center of local commerce, connecting businesses, service providers, and customers without extracting value from these relationships.

Today, Kesk operates in multiple countries and continues to expand its services while maintaining its core commitment to zero commission and fair practices for all platform participants.

Our Values

about.values.description

  • 01

    Zero Commission

    We believe businesses should keep what they earn. Our zero-commission model ensures that restaurants, stores, and service providers retain 100% of their revenue.

  • 02

    Fair & Transparent

    No hidden fees, no surge pricing, no surprises. We're committed to clear, upfront pricing for all stakeholders in our ecosystem.

  • 03

    Local First

    We prioritize local businesses and entrepreneurs, helping them compete in the digital economy without sacrificing their margins or independence.

  • 04

    Accessibility

    Essential services should be accessible to everyone. We design our platform to be inclusive and available to all users, regardless of technical proficiency.

  • 05

    Sustainability

    We're committed to reducing the environmental impact of urban deliveries through route optimization, eco-friendly packaging, and carbon offset programs.

  • 06

    Community

    We build communities, not just platforms. Kesk connects local businesses, service providers, and customers in ways that strengthen neighborhood economies.

Field — In the cities we serve

A platform isn’t a feature list. It’s a thousand small trusts, repeated every day, between people who never meet.

N° 03 — How we work

Three rules. We don’t move them.

Most platforms quietly rewrite their terms once they have leverage. Kesk publishes a constitution that doesn’t change without a community vote.

01

Vendors keep 100%.

Restaurants, stores, and service providers retain every cent of their revenue. The platform earns from a transparent flat fee — never from a percentage of someone else's work.

02

Drivers keep 100% earnings and tips.

Every euro a courier or driver earns — fares, deliveries, and every tip a customer leaves — goes to them in full. We don't pool, skim, or hide it inside a payout calculation.

03

Direction by community vote.

Roadmap priorities, commission rules, and fee changes are voted on by users, vendors, and partners. Not by a quarterly investor call.
