# About Aalekh – AI Finance Platform for CAs & SMEs > About Aalekh AI — trusted, backed, and supported by a Past President of ICAI. Built by the team behind Vigyos Center for CA practice management and SME finance automation in India. Canonical URL: https://www.aalekh.ai/page-about Our Story # About Aalekh Trusted, backed, and supported by a Past President of ICAI The idea for Aalekh was born from a simple frustration: Chartered Accountants and their clients were drowning in manual work — Excel sheets, WhatsApp document chases, and last-minute GST scrambles — while the tools available were built for accountants in other markets, not India. Our founders previously built **Vigyos Center**, which raised an angel round and grew to serve 2,000+ financial service centers across India, reaching a network of 30,000+ financial professionals. That experience taught us what CAs actually need at scale: not another ledger, but a practice management layer that automates the repetitive work so firms can serve more clients without burning out. **Aalekh** — from the Hindi word meaning “to note” — reflects our commitment to precision and clarity in every financial record. In Indian accounting tradition, an _aalekh_ is the careful notation that makes complex books legible. We built Aalekh to be that same discipline, applied at scale: every invoice noted, every GST return reconciled, every client conversation tracked — automatically. Today, Aalekh is an AI-driven SaaS platform that simplifies accounting processes for CAs and growing SMEs. From OCR-powered data entry to GSTR-2B reconciliation and WhatsApp client communication, we help teams work smarter and deliver exceptional results — with 5000+ CAs already on the platform.
