Rajeev: What are your business targets by the end of 2021?
Rahul: We have observed a tremendous increase in the appetite for digitization among SMB owners over the last few years, which the COVID-19 pandemic has also fueled. While there is already a push for digital adoption, we’re also witnessing the formalization of the SMB sector, as is evident with the rapidly growing number of GST registered businesses in the country. We aim to grab this huge opportunity to expand our user base by at least 7X till 2022 on our existing product, myBillBook, a simple-to-use & powerful GST billing & accounting app. We’re also planning to start parallel developments of product & service lines to solve the most pressing pain points of the SMBs and accelerate their growth.

We successfully raised our Series A round of $10 million which was led by Elevation Capital and saw the participation of existing investors Greenoaks Capital & Beenext. We aim to judiciously deploy capital & resources for team expansion, capability building and start parallel developments on new product & service lines.
