Modern technology dedicated to India's shopkeepers and wholesalers
India's retail backbone runs on mutual trust, community relationships, and flexible credit (Udhar). Yet for generations, managing this credit depended on handwritten red bahi-khatas that are vulnerable to accidental water damage, missing receipts, and hours of tedious manual calculations.
Our Founding Principle: Respect the Shopkeeper
Many digital apps entered the market claiming to help shopkeepers, only to treat them as channels to push high-interest personal loans, invasive advertisements, and expensive mandatory lock-ins.
Khata1 was founded on a different principle: to build a pure, honest business utility. We believe software should do its job exceptionally well, respect user privacy, and never exploit customer data. That is why Khata1 is certified as a Non-Lending platform, complies strictly with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023, and guarantees that your core ledger remains free forever.
Why Offline-First Matters to Us
Most modern SaaS apps are designed in air-conditioned offices with high-speed fiber internet. They break down in the bustling lanes of Chandni Chowk, Johari Bazaar, or rural mandi yards.
We deliberately built Khata1 around an embedded local SQLite engine. When a merchant taps 'Save', the data commits instantly to the smartphone. Whether your shop has full 5G or zero signal, your billing and ledger never freeze.
Our Core Commitments to Every Merchant:
- Zero Data Selling: We never share, broker, or monetize your customer phone numbers or transaction histories.
- Non-Lending Certified: We will never spam you with predatory credit cards, high-interest loans, or NBFC brokerage schemes.
- Indian Data Residency: All encrypted cloud records are physically housed in AWS Mumbai (ap-south-1).
