How one entrepreneur's frustration became India's largest project report platform.
In 2017, Hari Sasi was building a startup. Like most first-time entrepreneurs in India, he needed a bank loan to get things moving. The business idea was solid. The numbers made sense. But when he walked into the bank, the loan officer asked for one thing before anything else — a project report.
Hari had never heard of a project report. He asked around and found that the standard route was to hire a Chartered Accountant. The quotes he got ranged from ₹5,000 to ₹10,000. For someone already in a cash crunch — trying to raise money precisely because he didn't have enough — spending that kind of money on a document felt like a cruel catch-22.
You need money to get the document that helps you get the money.
He spent weeks understanding what banks look for — CMA data, financial projections, repayment schedules, ratio analysis. He built his own report. The loan got approved.
Friends building businesses started calling. CAs were charging ₹5,000–₹25,000 with 7–10 day turnarounds. Some reports got rejected because the format didn't match what the bank required.
Millions of small business owners across India had viable ideas but no way to create the one document standing between them and their bank loan.
Together with co-founder James Dominic, Hari built a platform to make project report creation simple enough for anyone — even with zero finance background.
Democratising access to bank credit for every Indian entrepreneur.
We believe no business should fail because the owner couldn't afford a project report. We believe a tea shop owner in Tier 3 India deserves the same quality of bank documentation as a company in Mumbai. We believe that if someone has the courage to start a business, the paperwork shouldn't be what stops them.
