The story

How Arthace started

Amit runs Suvidhi Creations, a textile manufacturing business in Surat. For years, getting a clear read on his own numbers meant waiting on his accounting team. It meant waiting days for last month's figures, or calling the office to ask which parties still owed money and how much stock was lying with job workers. The questions were simple. How much did we make last month? Who owes us money? What is stuck in job work? The answers were slow and vague, and the numbers he needed to run the business were always just out of reach.

He took it to Rahul, a childhood friend who had spent years building and growing businesses and kept hitting the same wall in his own books. Two owners in very different businesses, stuck on the same thing. The accounting was getting done, but a clear, usable picture never reached them.

So they built it for themselves, against real production and real paperwork rather than a whiteboard idea. They made a way to turn the documents a business already has — a photo of a bill, an Excel sheet, a bank statement, a voice note — into clean, approved books, and to get answers out of those books without waiting on anyone. Once it was doing the job in a real business, it was clear other owners were stuck the same way.

That is how Arthace started. Two owners built the tool they needed, then opened it up for other businesses.

The founders

Two owners, one problem, one platform

Amit Chopra, Co-founder of Arthace

Amit Chopra

Co-founder

Amit came to Arthace as a manufacturer first. He runs Suvidhi Creations in Surat and lived the accounting problem Arthace solves, day to day, on his own factory floor. He studied at the University of St Andrews. His job is to keep Arthace honest to how a real business runs. He knows what a busy owner needs to see, because he needs those answers himself.

Co-founder

Rahul founded R Social Labs and has spent about a decade building and growing businesses and finding where they quietly lose time and money. He brings the product and business-visibility side: taking the accounting a business already does and turning it into something the owner can read and act on. He leads how Arthace is built and taken to market.

How we think about your books

Straight answers, right accounting

Owners deserve straight answers. Your books should tell you what is happening while the month is still running, not three weeks after it ends.

The accounting still has to be right. Arthace is built with accounting professionals, and your own accountant or CA reviews what reaches your books. Arthace prepares the work, your team approves it, and nothing posts on its own.

It has to fit how Indian businesses run: WhatsApp, photos, voice notes, mixed Hindi, Gujarati and English, and the real workflow of your trade.

Your data stays yours

You own it. You control it. You can take it with you.

Your books are yours. Access is controlled by user role, so people in your business only see what they are authorized to see. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and you can export it at any time.
