ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY
In 2011-12, Rohit started working part-time, and then there was a moment that, he has finally decided to take entrepreneurship full-time. At that time, he is fully convinced, and even his manager offered him an Onsite opportunity, but he was so convinced to quit his job and finally made that tough decision.
When Rohit left his job, at that time, his parents were like, "Don't quit the job, you won't get the girl for marriage, nobody will respect you, you won't get the time for yourself, and many more. Most accounting softwares are too costly, shelling out 15000-20000 in one go, and especially when someone is starting a new business, so either user will download pirated copy or will manage the business of paper.
So, Rohit figured out the midway to make it most simple yet affordable and today Book Keeper is solving issues over lakhs users.
Initially, there was guidance required and a funding issue, so they got one angel investor and he is CA by profession, so that solved Rohit's issues.
