AutoOps + GreenTally

Inspiration

India’s 63M MSMEs are the backbone of our economy but lose huge value due to manual operations, compliance burdens, and lack of sustainability tracking. We wanted to solve two problems together—digitally transform MSMEs while making them environmentally responsible.

What it does

AutoOps automates invoicing, payments, inventory, and compliance, while GreenTally tracks carbon footprint, generates ESG-ready reports, and helps MSMEs qualify for green financing. Together, they save time, reduce costs, and unlock new growth opportunities.

How we built it

We combined open-source AI models, data pipelines for financial + environmental metrics, and lightweight APIs to integrate with MSME workflows. For carbon tracking, we mapped operational data to emission factors and automated report generation.

Challenges we ran into

• Handling unstructured financial data from MSMEs
  
• Building simple, mobile-first workflows for rural contexts
  
• Ensuring ESG compliance standards within limited compute resources
  

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Built a functional prototype in weeks
  
• Reduced manual reporting time by 90% in pilot tests
  
• Created a single platform blending operations + sustainability intelligence
  

What we learned

• MSMEs adopt faster when solutions are affordable and mobile-first
  
• Combining AI with sustainability creates new value streams
  
• Data preprocessing is as critical as model accuracy
  

What's next for AutoOps + GreenTally

• Expand pilot to 50+ MSMEs across multiple states
  
• Add predictive analytics for energy/waste optimization
  
• Partner with banks to streamline access to green financing
  
• Scale towards 20,000 MSMEs, targeting ₹50 crore impact in 5 years
