How This Homegrown Accounting Startup Is Helping MSMEs Thrive

Founded by Shrigopal, Abhinav, Jitendra, and Sumit, Hisab Kitab aims to address multiple challenges faced by micro and small businesses.

The red book, often termed 'bahi khata,' is a familiar name in Indian households, especially among those engaged in any form of business. The manual book served as the sole accounting source for MSMEs until technology emerged on the horizon and permanently transformed the rules of the game by shifting the focus to financial management. Financial management plays a pivotal role in the success of any venture, whether it's a budding micro-enterprise or a small-scale business. While larger corporations possess the resources to manage their accounts effortlessly, the same task poses a challenge for MSMEs. The Indian startup landscape was well aware of these challenges, leading the country's entrepreneurs to develop several indigenous accounting software solutions. One of these solutions is "Hisabkitab," designed to cater to the specific needs of MSMEs.
