Genesis
Piya Bahadur (Founder), on how MeraBills was concieved.
“In 2019, as I was travelling across India and the Southeast Asian peninsula, I engaged closely with many small-business owners that live and work in the countryside and along the highways. It was an experience that changed many things for me.
Two ideas took root. The first was that crores of families are supported by individuals running small businesses, and that it is these small businesses that are the true backbone of the nation’s economy. Second, running a small business is complicated; many fail for want of basic tools that larger business take for granted.
MeraBills is our attempt to provide vital tools to the small business owner, which enables her to make more money, run her business efficiently and sustain her business in the long run. Our goal is to make MeraBills simple enough that even first-time users of technology are able to leverage our app, in a language of their choice, to profitably and sustainably operate their businesses.”
Vision
We dream of an India where our technology is helping every small businessperson derive a profitable and sustainable livelihood from their business. Our vision is to facilitate digital financial equity for small entrepreneurs, equity that is truly transformational in the advantages it offers, and that enables them to build more resilience, sustainability and growth opportunities for their livelihoods.
Mission
To democratise business efficiency by making world-class business management software available to low-income, microentrepreneurs (especially underserved women who may be first time users of financial technology). We will do this by building the most user friendly, robust and affordable business tools and delivering them in local languages via digital financial literacy channels, training and handholding.
