Behind every small shop is a person doing ten jobs at once — and doing the books late at night, by hand. Simpliya exists to take that weight off their shoulders, in the language they already speak.
The shopkeeper's bahi-khata — the worn ledger by the till — has run the world's small businesses for generations. It works, until it doesn't: a smudged due, a forgotten reminder, an evening lost to reconciling who paid and who only promised.
We watched people we love run shops this way. Brilliant at their trade, but quietly buried in paperwork no one taught them to love. The accounting apps built for them assumed a desk, a computer, and a spare hour — three things a busy shopkeeper rarely has.
So we asked a simpler question: what if the books kept themselves? What if you could just say the sale out loud — in Hindi, Tamil, English, or the natural mix you actually speak — and the invoice, the stock, and the reminder all took care of themselves? That question led us to build Simpliya.
A billion small businesses keep the world's neighbourhoods running. We want their tools to be as capable, as warm, and as effortless as the work they do. Voice-first, offline-ready, and priced so the smallest shop can start free.
The fastest interface is the one you already use all day — your voice. We build everything around it first.
Bad signal, a crowded counter, a power cut. The app runs on your device and syncs when it can — never the other way round.
Your customers, your dues, your numbers. We protect them, we never sell them, and we make leaving as easy as joining.
No dark patterns, no buried fees, no lock-in. If a feature isn't useful, we don't ship it just to fill a pricing tier.
If a shopkeeper needs a manual, we got it wrong. Five minutes to set up, and obvious from the first tap.
Built around how small shops actually trade — udhaar, mixed languages, stock on the back foot — not a template borrowed from somewhere else.
On-device first, encrypted in transit, lockable with a PIN or fingerprint. Trust is the whole product.
Starting close to home, built to travel — over 70 languages, so the next shop in any street feels seen too.
We'd rather fix the thing that wastes your time today than promise a grand feature next year.
Simpliya is built and run by Simpliya Ltd, a company registered in England & Wales and based in London — working for shopkeepers across India and beyond. We're early, we're listening, and we read every message.
