How I approached it

01

Problem and workflow

Buyer, painful job, and the loop the product must run every week.

02

Data and permissions

Orgs, roles, billing entities, and tenant boundaries before UI.

03

Core product

Auth, main workflow, admin tools, and support visibility.

04

Billing and operations

Plans, webhooks, email, background jobs, and monitoring.

05

Go-live

Onboarding, rate limits, security pass, and production hardening.

The solution

Soma is an enterprise operating system for Indian SMEs that I build with my team. It handles GST-compliant invoicing, multi-warehouse inventory, trade intelligence, and mobile access, designed for businesses that outgrow spreadsheets but don't need SAP complexity.

Technical approach

The platform centers on three connected layers: finance (invoicing, payments, GST returns), inventory (warehouses, transfers, stock levels), and intelligence (trade insights, demand signals). Mobile apps give warehouse and sales teams access to the same data as the web dashboard.

GST compliance is built into the invoicing flow with tax calculations, invoice formats, and reporting that follow Indian regulatory requirements. Multi-warehouse sync keeps stock accurate across locations with transfer workflows and audit trails.

Outcome

Soma is in early access at soma.app.in, targeting wholesalers, manufacturers, and retail chains that need unified operations across finance, inventory, and field teams.

Key decisions

GST-compliant invoicing as a first-class workflow, not an add-on

Multi-warehouse inventory sync with trade intelligence layer

Mobile-first access for field sales and warehouse staff

Built for wholesalers, manufacturers, and retail chains, not generic SMB
