Daily revenue while enterprise builds.\n> Same Spine. Same Entity 360. Different connectors. Different onboarding.\n\n---\n\n## WHY INDIA SMB FIRST\n\n1. **Daily money** — ₹999/mo × 1000 users = ₹10L/mo recurring. No 6-month sales cycle.\n2. **Massive TAM** — 63M+ MSMEs in India. Every one of them juggles 5-6 apps.\n3. **Word of mouth** — One business owner tells 10 others. CA tells 50 clients.\n4. **Self-serve** — No demo needed. Connect WhatsApp + Tally, see value in 5 minutes.\n5. **Enterprise starts here** — CTO tries Personal workspace → rolls out to team → enterprise deal.\n\n## THE PAIN (every Indian business owner)\n\n```\nMorning routine:\n1. Check WhatsApp for orders (50+ messages)\n2. Open Tally to check yesterday's sales\n3. Open PhonePe/GPay to verify payments\n4. Open Google Sheets to update credit ledger\n5. Call logistics partner to confirm route\n6. Check Amazon Seller Central for online orders\n7. Reply to JustDial leads\n\nTime wasted: 2-3 hours/day\nMoney lost: missed orders, forgotten credits, late deliveries\n```\n\n## THE SOLUTION\n\n```\nIntegrateWise connects WhatsApp + Tally + Payments + Sheets into one screen.\n\nOne view shows:\n- Today's orders (from WhatsApp + Amazon + website)\n- Payments received (from Razorpay + PhonePe + UPI)\n- Credit outstanding (from Tally + Khatabook)\n- Delivery status (from logistics partner)\n- Customer history (Entity 360 — every interaction across every tool)\n```\n\n---\n\n## CONNECTOR PRIORITY (Build order)\n\n### Wave 1 — Launch (Week 1-2) — Use what exists + 3 new\n\n| #   | Connector         | Status              | Effort        | Why first             |\n| --- | ----------------- | ------------------- | ------------- | --------------------- |\n| 1   | WhatsApp Business | ✅ EXISTS           | —             | Everyone uses it      |\n| 2   | Google Sheets     | 🔨 BUILD            | 2 days        | Everyone's CRM/ledger |\n| 3   | Razorpay          | ✅ EXISTS (tenancy) | 1 day wrapper | #1 payment gateway    |\n| 4   | Google Calendar   | ✅ EXISTS           | —             | Appointments          |\n| 5   | Google Drive      | ✅ EXISTS           | —             | Documents             |\n\n**Launch with 5 connectors.
