💪 From Homework to Hustle – How a 16-Year-Old Built Biz Khata 4.0 and Is Taking It Back to Product Hunt
Hey everyone 👋,
I’m Prasoon, a 16-year-old solo founder from India.
While most people my age are stressing over homework and exams, I’ve been balancing school life with running a real product — Biz Khata. It hasn’t been easy, but today I’m proud to share Biz Khata 4.0, our biggest upgrade yet.
And yes… we’re going back to Product Hunt before Diwali.

📖 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, “This helped my business”, it makes all the effort worth it.

Wow, huge respect for balancing school and building a product of this scale 🙌. 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 20–30s 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 🚀
Thanks a lot, Anik! 🙌
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 — quick visual context can make a big difference for first-time visitors. I’ll work on adding a 20–30s version before the Product Hunt relaunch.
Really appreciate your encouragement and tips — hope you’ll check out the launch when it’s live 🚀
Prasoon, you’re doing an amazing job juggling school and building Biz Khata huge respect for that! 🙌 The demo GIF idea will definitely boost engagement and help visitors instantly get what your product is about. Can’t wait to see the relaunch on Product Hunt wishing you tons of success! 🚀🔥
Thanks so much, Anik! 🙏 Your support means a lot. I’ll definitely work on adding that demo GIF—it’s a great idea to show Biz Khata in action instantly. Super excited for the relaunch, and I’ll keep you posted when we go live on Product Hunt! 🚀🔥"
