Why this exists
A kirana store is one of the hardest businesses in India to run — and the least supported.
Nothing here is a technology problem. It is a memory problem, and it costs money every single week.
The whole shop runs on memory
What sold last Diwali, which brand of atta moves on a Tuesday, who still owes ₹400 — it all lives in one person's head. Nothing is written down, so nothing can be checked.
Dead stock and stockouts, both at once
With no history, you over-buy what doesn't sell and run out of what does. A shelf can be full and still be losing money.
EstimateCommonly estimated at around ₹2 lakh of dead stock per store per year. Modelled, not measured in our pilot.
Existing software assumes a shop you don't have
POS packages expect English, a training week, a steady connection and someone to run the counter while you learn. Most kirana owners work twelve-hour days, six days a week. The software never gets opened twice.
EstimateTwelve-hour, six-day weeks are typical rather than surveyed by us.
This is the database.
One book, one handwriting, one person who can read it. It cannot be searched, it cannot be backed up, and it cannot tell you what will run out on Tuesday. Bharat AI does not replace it — it starts by reading it.
One shop's shelf, this morning
This morning's shelf
4 items need you today.

Nobody counted this. It is what the shelf looked like to Bharat AI at 6:40 this morning, before the shutter went up.
What it is
Bharat AI is your Virtual COO, on WhatsApp and voice.
Not a billing app and not a POS. Six things a good operations manager would do for you, if you could afford one — arriving on the phone already in your hand.
Stock Intelligence
- The problem
- You find out you're out of something when a customer asks for it.
- What Bharat does
- Tracks how fast every item actually moves, not what a spreadsheet assumes.
- What you get
- A warning days before the shelf goes empty — not after.
Smart Reorder
- The problem
- Order lists get written on the back of a bill, and half of it is forgotten.
- What Bharat does
- Builds the next order from real movement and your supplier's lead time.
- What you get
- “Parle-G runs out Tuesday. Order 12 cartons?” — one tap on WhatsApp.
Expiry Tracker
- The problem
- Stock expires at the back of the shelf and becomes a total loss.
- What Bharat does
- Watches batch dates from the invoice photo and counts down quietly.
- What you get
- Time to discount or return it while it can still be sold.
Festival Intelligence
- The problem
- Diwali buying is a guess, and the guess is expensive either way.
- What Bharat does
- Looks at last year, your area and the calendar ahead.
- What you get
- A buying plan two weeks before the rush, not a panic the night before.
Margin Analysis
- The problem
- The busiest items are not always the ones making money.
- What Bharat does
- Works out true margin per item after cost, wastage and discount.
- What you get
- A straight answer on what earns its shelf space and what only fills it.
How it works
You do not learn our software. We learn your shop.
Four steps. You do the first one with us, and then it runs.
- STEP 01
We set the store up for you
Photograph your supplier invoices and whatever stock list you already keep. We do the rest on-site over three days. There is no new app for you to learn.
- STEP 02
Bharat watches quietly in the background
Movement, expiry dates, supplier lead times, festival dates for your area. Nothing for you to enter, nothing to remember.
- STEP 03
Every morning, a briefing in your language
What sold, what is about to run out, what expires this week, what the festival calendar is about to do to demand.
- STEP 04
You confirm on WhatsApp. One tap.
Reorders, festival buying and margin warnings arrive as a message you can answer with a word. No dashboard to log into.
Step one, in practice
You photograph a bill. We do the rest.
No data entry, no spreadsheet, no training week. Your supplier invoices are already the record of what the shop buys — we read them, and the stock list builds itself.
A day in the store
This is what it feels like.
One shop, one ordinary Tuesday. Every message below is the product doing its job — nothing here needs the owner to open an app.

Story → Build → Scale → Survey → Kit
Five pages, in order. Start anywhere, but this is the path most people find useful.
Who it is for
Three people open this site. All three should recognise themselves.
Where we actually are
Proof, honestly.
We are early and we would rather say so than dress it up. There are no customer logos on this page because there is nothing we could put there truthfully yet.
Now in private pilot
We are onboarding the first stores. No customer logos here, because it would not be true yet.
Four languages live
Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and English — in voice and in text, in production.
WhatsApp-native
Nothing to install. It works on the phone already in the owner's hand.
Built by Meshav AI Technologies Pvt Ltd
Registered in India. Bharat AI is the product; Meshav AI is the company behind it.
What a pilot store canmeasure in 90 days: stockouts avoided on fast movers, value of stock caught before expiry, hours not spent writing order lists, and whether the festival plan beat last year's guess. Those are the numbers we will publish — once they are real, from stores that agreed to share them.
Questions people ask us
Straight answers. Pricing, privacy, and what the 90-day pilot actually involves.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Bharat AI works over WhatsApp and voice on the phone you already use. There is nothing to download and nothing to log into. A tablet for the counter is optional and only comes with Premium.
Does it work in Telugu, Hindi or Tamil?
Yes — all four languages including English are live in production, for both voice and text. You choose your language once and everything arrives in it.
What do you need from my store to start?
Photographs of your recent supplier invoices, and whatever stock list you already keep — a notebook is fine. We come to you for three days and do the setup ourselves.
What happens during the 90-day pilot?
You pay nothing for 90 days and the ₹10,000 on-site onboarding is waived. We review together on day 75. If it isn't working for you, cancel by day 75 at no cost.
How much does it cost after the pilot?
Pilot stores hold ₹1,499/month for Standard or ₹1,999/month for Premium, locked for 12 months. After that it moves to the regular price — ₹1,999 and ₹2,499. We tell you 60 days before it changes.
What happens at the end of the 90 days?
Nothing switches off without warning. We review together on day 75 — before anything is charged — and you decide then. If you continue, the first invoice covers the month after your free period. If you don't, you cancel by day 75, pay nothing, and we export your data for you.
What if I'm late paying one month?
You keep full access for 7 days and we remind you on WhatsApp. After that the briefings and alerts pause for another 7 days, but your data stays open to you the whole time. Only on day 15 does the account suspend, and even then nothing is deleted — we keep it for 90 days. If you tell us you'll pay on Friday, reply on WhatsApp and we'll extend it. We would rather hear from you than cut you off.
Is it cheaper if I pay for the year?
Yes — you pay for ten months and get twelve, so ₹19,990 a year for Standard instead of ₹23,988, and ₹24,990 for Premium. We don't offer it when you first sign up, though. Use the product for three months first — nobody should prepay a year for something they haven't seen working in their own shop.
Is my store's data private?
Your data is yours. We collect only what the product needs to answer your questions, we never sell it, and we never share one store's numbers with another. We build to India's DPDP Act and you can ask us to delete everything.
Can I cancel?
Yes. During the pilot, cancel by day 75 and pay nothing. After that it is monthly — stop whenever you like, and we will export your data for you.
Do you come on-site?
Yes. Three days of on-site setup and training are part of joining, in your shop, in your language. That is the part most software skips, and it is why most software fails here.
After the pilot: ₹1,999/month Standard or ₹2,499/month Premium, per store. Full breakdown on Scale.
