After 6 months, I launched a creator-business app for Indian YouTubers β€” looking for honest feedback

Hey IH πŸ‘‹

I'm Raju. After watching every Indian creator I know lose β‚Ή50,000–₹2 lakh a year to brand-deal paperwork (not because

brands cheat β€” because Indian tax + invoicing is brutal and no existing creator tool fits), I shipped CreatorKhata.

The problem: existing creator stacks (Bonsai, HoneyBook, Notion templates) assume Stripe payments + W-9 tax forms.

Indian creators deal with:

β€’ GST registration at β‚Ή20 lakh turnover, with state-specific CGST/SGST/IGST splits

β€’ TDS deducted by every brand under Section 194J (10%) / 194C / 194H / 194R

β€’ Form 16A chase loops to claim TDS back at ITR time

β€’ MSME 45-day payment rule (which nobody enforces because tracking is hard)

β€’ AdSense as "export of services" (0% GST under LUT) β€” only if registered

I built one tool that handles all of it natively, plus an AI content suite (captions, 8-platform repurpose) on Groq

Llama for free.

Stack: React + Spring Boot + Supabase + Razorpay + Groq + Resend, hosted on Vercel + Render. Bootstrapped, solo,

India-first.

Pricing: Free forever for content workflow. PRO β‚Ή199/month for business ops.

Three things I'd love feedback on:

1. Is the "all-in-one for India" angle clear in 10 seconds on the landing page?

2. For Indian creators here β€” what's the one paperwork pain that takes most of your time? Is it on my feature list?

3. Pricing β€” β‚Ή199/month feels right for India but I have zero data. Reactions welcome.

Launching on Product Hunt June 18 β€” Coming Soon page:
