Building from Raipur, on purpose.
Hi, I am
CA Karan GuptaA chartered accountant in Raipur. I build software. I host rooms.
Six years of Chartered Accountancy practice in Raipur. A tech company called Teknosage building AI tools and ERPs for Indian small businesses. A physical space called The Boardroom where I run AI cohorts and founder bootcamps. And a community of 134 people that started with friends in a living room.
Five things, on most days.
One consistent instinct expressed in different rooms.
The CA Practice
Since 2020
GST, audit, and advisory for SMBs across Chhattisgarh and India. Two of us in the firm, working on real returns and real workpapers. The work that pays the rent and teaches me what software is missing.

Since November 2025
An AI and ERP company. HRMS is live with paying clients. Solaris Suite, a modular ERP architecture, is launching this year. Built on one principle: software for Indian businesses, by someone who does the compliance work himself.

An OS in a browser tab. Yes, really.
A complete operating system that runs in your browser — 78 apps, explorable 3D worlds, and KIRA, a built-in AI assistant. Built from scratch in Raipur. Nothing to install; works on your phone.

Opens this month
A physical space in our office. AI cohorts for working professionals. Founder bootcamps. Junior Builders — an AI program for ages 12–17. The instinct is simple: bring the rooms here, instead of telling people to leave for Mumbai.

Since August 2025
A community in Raipur. 134 members, 22 events. Game nights, murder mysteries, Catan tournaments, Sunday coffee. The point isn't networking. It's relationships that change how you think and what you build.
Learn moreMost of India's CA-and-tech conversation imports its vocabulary from the metros.
Mumbai. Bangalore. Delhi. That's where the workshops happen, where the cohorts run, where the founder communities live. The reality of running a serious practice and shipping serious software from a Tier-2 city (different talent pool, different clients, different economics, different network) barely shows up online.
I write and build from inside that reality.
The CA students I teach at ICAI, the founders I meet locally, the professionals around me in Raipur are curious, capable, and being treated as second-class participants in their country's tech moment. I'm not interested in fixing that with hashtags. I'm interested in fixing it with cohorts that actually run, software that actually ships, and rooms that actually fill.
If any of that sounds like you, keep scrolling.
