A 38-point readiness checklist for Indian small businesses (5-30 person teams) about to invest in software, websites, or automation. Catch the gaps before you spend.
Most digital-transformation projects fail at Indian SMEs not because the software is wrong, but because the basics weren't ready: no clean customer list, no clear ownership of who-does-what, no internet at the warehouse, no GST-compliant invoice template. This checklist surfaces all 38 prerequisites so you know what to fix before you spend.
Drop your details — we’ll WhatsApp you the link in under a minute. No follow-up sales call unless you ask.
Partially — about 22 of the 38 checks apply to solos. We're working on a separate solo-founder version. For now, skip the team and operations sections.
That's exactly what the checklist is for. A bad score is good news — it means you've spotted the gaps before spending lakhs on software that won't work because of them. Each failing check has a suggested fix with INR cost.
Yes — the readiness phase is often the cheapest part of any project. We offer a paid 2-week readiness sprint (₹35,000) that closes most foundational gaps. Or you can fix them yourself; the checklist tells you how.
The checklist itself is just educational content. It does mention DPDP as one of the 38 checks. We're not lawyers — for a formal DPDP audit, talk to a data-protection specialist or our DPDP-compliant software development team.
15-20 minutes if you know your business well. 60-90 minutes if you need to verify some items (e.g. dig out the GST invoice template, check the customer list count).
