Accounting and GST software across India
Sixteen pages, each written around what that city actually trades — hosiery and cycle parts in Ludhiana, synthetic fabric and job work in Surat, pumps and foundries in Coimbatore, the mandi in Indore. None of them is a find-and-replace of the city name.

India overview
Indian businesses do not fail for want of accounting software — they fail for want of one system.
Delhi NCR
Delhi trades across state lines more than almost anywhere else in India.
Mumbai
Mumbai businesses carry two costs nobody else carries as heavily: space and time.
Bengaluru
Bengaluru bills abroad more than it bills next door.
Chennai
Chennai runs on supply schedules.
Hyderabad
Hyderabad is a pharmaceutical city, and pharmaceutical accounting has one non-negotiable: the batch.
Pune
Pune manufactures for other people’s assembly lines, and an assembly line does not wait.
Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad trades chemicals, dyes and cloth, and all three are sold by weight at rates that change and in batches that are not interchangeable.
Surat
In Surat most of the value is added by somebody else.
Jaipur
Jaipur sells things that are priced three ways at once: by weight, by piece and by workmanship.
Kolkata
Kolkata is the distribution gateway to eastern India and the north-east, which means long routes, long credit and e-way bills with validity that actually matters.
Coimbatore
Coimbatore makes pumps, motors and castings, and sends knitwear out of Tiruppur an hour down the road.
Ludhiana
Ludhiana runs two businesses that look nothing alike on paper and behave identically in practice: hosiery and cycle parts.
Indore
Indore trades what grows around it — soya, wheat, pulses and grams — and that trade has a cost structure generic software has never met.
Lucknow
A distributor in Lucknow is usually covering a state the size of a country.
Kochi
Kochi exports, and export accounting has its own failure modes: an invoice raised in dollars and received at a different rate, a weight that changes between the godown and the container because the pepper dried, and paperwork that has to agree with a shipping bill somebody else prepared.
