๐Ÿ’ช From Homework to Hustle โ€“ How a 16-Year-Old Built Biz Khata 4.0 and Is Taking It Back to Product Hunt

Hey everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹,

Iโ€™m Prasoon, a 16-year-old solo founder from India.

While most people my age are stressing over homework and exams, Iโ€™ve been balancing school life with running a real product โ€” Biz Khata. It hasnโ€™t been easy, but today Iโ€™m proud to share Biz Khata 4.0, our biggest upgrade yet.

And yesโ€ฆ weโ€™re going back to Product Hunt before Diwali.

๐ŸŒ New Homepage: Biz Khata Homepage


๐Ÿ“– The Struggle of Building as a Teen Founder

When I started Biz Khata, I had:

  • No team
  • No funding
  • No fancy laptop setup

Just my Android tablet, my coding skills, and a big dream.

Balancing school deadlines with late-night coding sessions has been a challenge. But every time a user says, โ€œThis helped my businessโ€, it makes all the effort worth it.


๐Ÿš€ Whatโ€™s New in Biz Khata 4.0?

Weโ€™re not just polishing โ€” weโ€™re upgrading everything.

1๏ธโƒฃ Brand New Homepage (Built with AquaScript)

  • Lightweight & super fast โ€” even on low connections
  • Hindi + English language support
  • Minimal yet professional design with clear CTAs

2๏ธโƒฃ Working Map Feature (Powered by OpenStreetMap API)

Our map is now fully functional!

You can locate your shop and nearby businesses right inside Biz Khata โ€” powered by OpenStreetMap, completely free and privacy-friendly.

3๏ธโƒฃ Core Features

  • ๐Ÿ“Š AI-powered expense tracker
  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Stock tracker with automatic profit/loss
  • ๐Ÿงพ Invoice Mint for professional billing
  • ๐ŸŒ Map-based shop locator (now live and accurate)
  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ Mobile-first interface โ€” 100% visitors so far are on Android tablets

4๏ธโƒฃ Upcoming BizSuit API (Paid Plan)

Weโ€™re preparing to launch our premium API for businesses and developers:

  • Programmatic access to Biz Khataโ€™s stock, invoices, and analytics
  • Subscription-based model
  • Secure & scalable

๐Ÿ“ˆ The Numbers Speak

Our Umami analytics show that Biz Khata 4.0 is already getting traction:

  • 580% increase in views (68 total in last 24 hrs)
  • 14 min 41 sec average session duration (deep engagement)
  • Bounce rate: 33% (healthy for new users)
  • Top referrers: Vercel.com & GitHub Pages
  • 100% visitors from India, all on Android tablets

๐ŸŽฏ Future Plans

  • Relaunch on Product Hunt before Diwali with 4.0 branding
  • Release BizSuit API paid plan
  • Add interactive homepage demos so new users can try before signing up
  • Keep improving speed and accessibility

๐Ÿ™ How You Can Support

Iโ€™m building Biz Khata while still in school โ€” no big funding, no big team, just me.

If you want to help:

  • Follow Biz Khata on Product Hunt (pre-launch link coming soon)
  • Share the homepage with small business owners
  • Give feedback so we can keep improving

Wow, huge respect for balancing school and building a product of this scale ๐Ÿ™Œ. The speed and mobile-first focus really make sense for your audience, especially in India where many run their business entirely on a phone/tablet. One tip before the Product Hunt relaunch consider adding a super short 20โ€“30s demo GIF on the homepage. It can instantly show new visitors what Biz Khata does without them scrolling. Excited to see how the PH launch goes ๐Ÿš€

Thanks a lot, Anik! ๐Ÿ™Œ
Balancing school and building Biz Khata has been a wild ride, but feedback like this makes it worth it.
The demo GIF idea is brilliant โ€” quick visual context can make a big difference for first-time visitors. Iโ€™ll work on adding a 20โ€“30s version before the Product Hunt relaunch.
Really appreciate your encouragement and tips โ€” hope youโ€™ll check out the launch when itโ€™s live ๐Ÿš€
