Behind every software product is a story — a problem that needed solving, a person who wouldn’t give up until it was solved. Keshav Solutions was born in Sambalpur, Odisha in 2005, when founder Suraj Agarwalla watched petrol pump and rice mill owners in his community struggle with accounts kept in paper registers and basic spreadsheets. He knew there had to be a better way.
The Founding Problem
In 2005, petrol pump owners in Odisha and Chhattisgarh managed accounts manually — daily shift registers, handwritten credit ledgers, monthly totals done by calculator. Errors were common. Credit customer disputes were frequent. Month-end closing took days. And there was no way to check the business from anywhere other than being physically present at the pump.
Suraj founded Keshav Solutions to solve these problems with software designed specifically for how Indian petrol pump operators actually work — not adapted from generic accounting tools.
Growing from Sambalpur to 500+ Clients Across India
The first version of petroMunim was installed at a handful of pumps in Sambalpur in 2005. Word spread through dealer networks — a petrol pump owner would tell his neighbouring dealer, who would tell another. By 2010, Keshav Solutions had clients across Odisha. By 2015, the client base had expanded to Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and West Bengal.
Today, 500+ petrol pump and rice mill operators across 20+ states use petroMunim or AnnadataPro. From single-nozzle rural pumps to multi-station urban dealerships. From small custom milling units to large FCI procurement mills processing thousands of tonnes.
Adding Rice Mill Software: AnnadataPro
Many petrol pump clients asked if Keshav Solutions could build something similar for rice mills — another business where manual accounting was causing daily headaches. In 2012, AnnadataPro was launched: a purpose-built ERP for rice mills managing paddy stock, milling records, party khata, and GST compliance.
