Jai Hemrajani, CEO & Co-Founder, BillMe

This Independence Day marks a significant turning point for India's digital dominance journey. With emerging technologies reshaping the business landscape, it is time for India to embrace innovative solutions that revolutionize traditional practices.

BillMe, a cutting-edge Digital Invoicing CRM, empowering retailers across India to transition towards a more sustainable and efficient future has proven time and again to be the trailblazer in this effort.

BillMe has been at the forefront of this revolution, providing invaluable support to major Indian retailers such as McDonald's, Burger King, Decathlon, Cinepolis, Miraj Cinemas, and many others.

This pioneering platform has reimagined transaction handling, processing an astounding 15 crore digital invoices every year across 15,000+ Point-of-Sale (POS) systems.

Co-Founders, Jai Hemrajani, Kuber Pritmani and Rupam Jain believe that they are on the right track to educating, innovating and helping both the businesses and end consumers evolve into a more sustainable future. 

India boasts a staggering 27 lakh retailers generating hundreds of crores worth of paper invoices annually. Unfortunately, many of these paper invoices end up discarded, leading to a lack of accessibility for customers when they require the invoices.

Moreover, the ink used in these paper bills contains cancer-causing agents, posing environmental and health risks and digital invoicing has been single-handedly responsible for saving approximately 7000 trees over the last 5 years and is successfully aiming to triple this number over the next year.

This Independence Day, it is crucial for all Indians to pledge their commitment to shift from paper invoices to digital ones. While digital invoicing has made this transition seamless for retailers, the support they need from the people at large who play a pivotal role in driving this change cannot be discounted.

By advocating for digital invoices, everyone is capable of contributing to a greener environment but also ensuring the ease and convenience of accessing invoices through the platform.

“We at BillMe want users to ask for digital invoices from retailers so that in the future, we will give you a platform that will secure all your invoices at the same place which will help users to track expenses, budget better, split expenses and have a birds eye view on every single rupee you spend.

The future of India lies in its digital prowess and can advance only if all of us collectively work towards digitising ourselves and we are extremely excited and hopeful for technologically advanced and sustainable India.” Said Jai Hemrajani, Co-Founder & CEO, BillMe.  

Reflecting on the past, the evolution of invoicing has been fascinating. In the 1990s, business owners crafted invoices by hand, followed by the use of printers in the 2000s.

Now, in the 2020s, we stand poised to make the shift from traditional, mundane printers to engaging, user-friendly, and enjoyable digital invoices and looking towards the future, the future lies in creating a unified platform where users can effortlessly access all their bills.

This step will not only save thousands of trees worth of paper bills daily but also streamline and simplify invoice management for all stakeholders.

Embracing digital invoicing brings forth multifaceted benefits. Not only does it reduce paper wastage, contributing to environmental preservation, but it also enhances business efficiency and customer experience.

Digital invoicing allows retailers to enjoy an intelligent invoicing process that streamlines operations, eliminates physical clutter, and fosters sustainable business practices.

As we celebrate Independence Day, let us pledge to forge ahead on our digital dominance journey. Embrace the power of digital invoicing to shape a future that is efficient, eco-friendly, and enjoyable for all. Together, we can drive this transformative change and build a prosperous and sustainable India for generations to come. Happy Independence Day!
