What GST registration means for you

  • Every price shown on this site is in Indian Rupees and already includes GST. What you see is what you pay.
  • Every paid order generates a proper GST tax invoice carrying our GSTIN, the SAC code, and the tax split. It reaches you by email.
  • If you are a GST-registered business, give us your GSTIN at checkout or by email and we will put it on the invoice so you can claim input tax credit.
  • Customers outside India are billed as an export of services, which is zero-rated under Indian GST. Any tax due in your own country is your responsibility.
  • The 48 free tools stay free. There is no charge, so there is no tax on them either.

12+ years in digital & productEx-agency, ex-medtechEnglishHindiBengali

My first career was in prosthetic engineering, designing things that had to fit a real human body and work the first time. That discipline never left me.

I started out in a global medical devices company, running B2B and B2C marketing and sales for healthcare products. It taught me to explain complicated things to people who have no patience for jargon, because they are dealing with something that actually matters to them.

From there I spent the better part of a decade in digital agencies and, later, an IT training LLP. Along the way I have worked on campaigns for Jack Daniel's, Harman (a Samsung company), Revolt Motors, Oppo, Sodexo, Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Finserv Health, Ashiana Housing, IFFCO-Tokio, Lovely Professional University, T&T Motors and Cambridge School. I led the social team on a fintech health brand launch, and covered CES 2019 in Las Vegas for a connected-audio client.

Most recently I ran digital marketing and communications for an IT training LLP: a five to six person team, 400 plus qualified leads at 10 to 12 rupees a lead, roughly 20 lakh in ticket sales for a founder summit, and more than 500 entrepreneurs trained on digital marketing, content and AI. I built the landing pages, wrote the copy, designed the assets and ran the ads, which is a useful way to learn exactly which software gets in your way.

Because somewhere across all of that, I grew tired of tools that ask for an account, your attention and a subscription before they do one useful thing. BeginThings is the opposite of that. Tools that load in a second, run entirely in your browser, and never phone home. I sat down and built it, one honest tool at a time, with the accounts, trial and payments backend behind the premium products.
