A trust network for Indian supply chains
Before you trade with them, know how they trade.
For distributors who already give shops 30-day terms — and want better evidence before doing it again.
You usually find out a business is unreliable after you have committed stock or money to them. Praavo collects what companies actually experience with each other — whether goods arrive right and on time, whether bills get settled when they should, whether a disagreement is handled reasonably — and turns it into one plain read on whether somebody is worth dealing with.
Creating an account is open to anyone — sign up here. Bringing your own ledger in is still done with us during the pilot, so a conversation is the faster route.
Five sample businesses. Nothing here is a real company.

The short of it
Goods arrive as ordered, and on time. Reasonable when something goes wrong.
From 11 businesses who trade with them
What your accounts software cannot do
Tally and Busy know your side of a trade. They can tell you that a supplier delivered late to you. They cannot tell you whether that is who they are, or whether you were unlucky — because they have never seen how that supplier treats anybody else.
Praavo sees both sides of many trades. One late delivery is an anecdote; the same complaint from nine businesses who have never met each other is a fact — and that is the difference between a rumour in your market and something you can act on.
- 1Everybody already knows a pieceThree businesses have dealt with the same company. Each knows how it went for them, and none of it is written anywhere.

- 3You get the short of itOne plain read before you commit stock or money — whether goods arrive right, whether bills get settled, whether they are reasonable when something goes wrong. Credit can come later, once that record exists.
Before you take somebody on
What eleven other businesses found out the hard way, in one place, before you commit stock or money. Quality, delivery, payment, and whether they argue every bill.
Your invoices, handled
Upload what your accounting software already produces. Praavo tidies it into who owes you, what is overdue, and what needs chasing this week — and every settled bill quietly builds your own record.
Credit, once the record exists
A business with a proven record can be trusted with stock on terms by someone who has never met them — and later, by a lender. That comes after the trust, not before it.
What Praavo does not do
- Never holds your money. Payments go bank to bank; Praavo records that they did.
- Never lends, and never lets members lend to each other. Terms on a bill, not loans.
- Never shows anyone your bills, your amounts, or who else you trade with.
- Never sells a place in a ranking.
- Never publishes one business’s opinion of another. It takes several who have dealt with them, saying the same thing.
