We built BillNama because
invoicing was broken for us too

The Founders' Story

A problem they couldn't
stop thinking about

Hi — we're Chirag and Karan, developers from Surat. Like most people building software here, we worked with clients — local shops, small agencies, freelance consultants — people who were brilliant at their craft but completely overwhelmed the moment invoicing came up.

They'd rely on a cousin who knew Excel, type out ugly PDFs, or pay for bloated tools built for corporations in the West. India has tens of millions of freelancers and small businesses. Why wasn't there a simple, honest tool that understood how they actually work?

"We didn't set out to build a startup. We just wanted our clients to stop asking us to fix their invoice templates every week."

Why BillNama Exists

The tools that existed
weren't built for us

Most invoicing software is designed for companies with accountants on payroll — dashboards packed with features nobody uses, demanding you "invite your team," costing more per month than a freelancer earns in a day.

Indian small businesses have different needs. GST compliance matters. WhatsApp sharing matters. Generating a clean invoice on your phone at a client's office — that matters.

BillNama was built to close this gap. Not to become the next enterprise suite. Just to do invoicing really, really well — for the people who need it most.

Our Mission

Make professional invoicing accessible to
every Indian business

We believe a street vendor in Surat, a freelance designer in Mumbai, and a small IT consultancy in Pune all deserve the same quality tools as any large firm. Professionalism shouldn't be gated behind expensive subscriptions.

BillNama's mission is to give every Indian entrepreneur — regardless of size — the ability to bill confidently, get paid faster, and look professional. For free, forever.

Our Journey

Growing one invoice
at a time

BillNama started as a side project to help a handful of local clients in Surat. No funding, no big launch — just a tool that worked, shared by word of mouth.

Every feature shipped, every bug fixed, every currency and tax type added — it all comes from listening to real people using BillNama in their real work.
