WHY WE BUILT KARMAAXIS

With people. For people.
Alongside people.

KarmaAxis grew from seeing how much people carry—and how little of it a business gets to keep.

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

There wasn’t
one moment.

Shashank SomaniFOUNDER · KARMAAXIS

The thought developed through working with people, for people and alongside people.
I kept seeing work scattered across WhatsApp, email, diaries, spreadsheets and people’s heads. People spent their time digging for things they had already been told.
Software existed, but another problem often meant another tool. Another cost. More time learning it. Switching between apps broke the train of thought. And so much everyday work still fell between the systems.
I saw employees leave with customer conversations and commitments that had never been documented. More painfully, I saw families left without a clear picture of how a business worked after an owner died. So much depended on what one person remembered.
Meanwhile, software assumed a level of education and confidence with technology that not everyone had. Indian businesses are made of all sorts of people. The software needed to make sense to them.
It pained me to see people struggling and being left to fend for themselves. That was the overriding thought behind KarmaAxis.
Help people work together. Help the business remember. Give the next person somewhere to begin.

“A business should not have to start from zero when the person carrying its knowledge is no longer there.”

THE ACTION BECAME THE STARTING POINT.

A shared home
for the work.

We call that action a Karma. Around it, the team can keep the responsibility, conversations, steps and relevant records together.

The philosophy is rooted in action and responsibility. The purpose is deeply practical: make work easier to understand, easier to continue and less dependent on one person remembering it all.
