Breeze, Planning Center, Pushpay are solid products but they weren't built for how Indian churches actually operate.</p> <p>A few things we built differently:</p> <p>Member Management - Members organized by household, village, colony, and fellowship. That's how Indian churches think about their congregation, not just a name and phone number.</p> <p>Fund Accounting - Tithes, offerings, building funds, special collections tracked separately. April to March fiscal year built in. No spreadsheet workarounds.</p> <p>Financial Statements - Full receipts, payments, and cash analysis ready for annual audits in minutes.</p> <p>150+ churches across India are using it now.</p> <p>Anyone here who has built SaaS for a niche market - what was the hardest part of getting your first users?</p> software productivity
