She is now more confident about her money. She has started collaborating with different types of business vendors and reputed wholesalers and is able to order on time for related cosmetics. Earlier she used to purchase parlour related cosmetics with local vendors at a high rate but now she can order for appropriate articles at a reasonable rate.
Gudiya Devi from Jalima village in Ranchi runs a small beauty parlour in the front side of her house. Her husband is a farmer and struggles to run the house with his income. She has three small kids and they are studying in a government primary school. She belongs to a joint family and she manages her beauty parlour along with household responsibilities. She earns a reasonable amount of money for her family members and has become a helping hand for her husband.
She is well educated and is always eager to learn something new to take her business to the next level. At the initial stage she had a feature phone that she would use only to make calls but later she was able to purchase a smartphone and learnt its basic functions. Earlier she used to note down all her business debts and expenses on a small piece of paper for customers and it always created doubts in her mind.
In the near future she plans to open another beauty parlour in the main town area to use her skill and also provide basic parlour training to young girls, who are interested in the profession. She is ambitious and she has a business acumen that drives her to expand her work.
She joined the digital and financial literacy program with the help of a master trainer of her area. Bookkeeping and record keeping was the one thing missing from her business and this training has helped her understand the functions of the MeraBills app.
This app provides a template to note down all income and expenses quickly. Even sending invoices of different patterns becomes possible. Through Reports one can visualise the entire income/expenses, daily income, income/profit, expense breakdown and withdrawals at a glance.
People running businesses are sometimes unaware that their business is running in loss or profit but through this modern app they can get proper information of the present status of their business. This app provides a facility to apply for a loan with entire business related documents. In fact it also rectifies wrong entries.
Gudiya Devi worked hard to learn MeraBills after regular training and now she is entering her business details one by one in MeraBills. She is now more confident about her money. She has started collaborating with different types of business vendors and reputed wholesalers and is able to order on time for related cosmetics. Earlier she used to purchase parlour related cosmetics with local vendors at a high rate but now she can order for appropriate articles at a reasonable rate.
She is now sure that she will extend her beauty parlour servicing business and training institute to increase her monthly income for the higher education of her kids for their bright future. Her interest in using smartphones surprisingly increased and her other family members were also very excited to know about different attractive features of MeraBills.
