Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Airtable for 400 million SMBs globally

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We've built a mobile-first tool that helps small and medium businesses manage all their data, workflows, and teams, especially in their local languages. It's like Airtable but designed for SMBs who rely heavily on phones and regional languages, focusing on their unique challenges.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Bengaluru, India, while our team is mostly remote spread across India. After YC, we'd keep the company headquartered here but expand remote work globally.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Bengaluru is the center of our network and talent pool. The SMBs we serve are mostly in India and similar markets; being based here keeps us close to users and cost-effective. Remote allows us to hire good people outside the city.
