Enterprise Resource Planning, or ERP as most know it, has quietly powered Indian industry for years. But for smaller manufacturers and service businesses, it often felt like a clunky fit, too expensive, too complex and too foreign in its logic. That's exactly the gap one chartered accountant-turned-technologist decided to bridge. In a compelling conversation with Kunal Singhal, Founder and Managing Director of Eazy Business Solutions, the story of building a truly Indian ERP comes alive: one that speaks the language of Tally, runs on the Cloud and integrates AI not as a buzzword, but a business tool. What began with code written in Tally Definition Language now powers operations across manufacturing, retail and government sectors, one seamless workflow at a time.

A CA-turned-coder sees the ERP gap

Most journeys into enterprise tech begin with software. This one began with audits. During his early days as a Chartered Accountant, Singhal noticed the same pattern across mid-sized factories: accounting was digitised through Tally, but everything else, from inventory to payroll, was in disarray. The systems didn't speak to each other. Automation, if it existed, was patchy at best.

"For two reasons," he explained. "One, I was a techie who was forced to do CA. And second, I grew up in Gharwadi, surrounded by factories. While auditing companies, I saw the same pain points... That was the gap we decided to solve." So in 2007, with no blueprint and little precedent, he began coding the solution himself, one that could plug directly into Tally and simplify ERP for the Indian business context.
