About ANKA

We build ANKA ERP and the software around it – for businesses that want every figure accurate and every record in the right hands.

The name ANKA: the word अंक, meaning number, under the A of the ANKA logo with its two gold points joined by one thread
The name

A name that means number

Anka (अंक) means number in Sanskrit, Marathi and Hindi – and numbers are what every business runs on. The two gold points in our logo, held together by one thread, are what an ERP should do: every part of a business joined to one set of accurate numbers.

Our story

Proven business rules, rebuilt for today

  1. Where we started

    Our earlier ERP

    327 screens and 304 tables of business rules – accounts, inventory, sales, purchase, production, hotels, hospitals and more.

  2. The rebuild

    ANKA ERP

    The same rules, re-engineered screen by screen on .NET, Angular and SQL Server – with many organizations, branches and counters, and rights checked on every call.

  3. Today

    The foundation is live

    60 screens, rights on every call, a full change history, a user manual for every screen and an API reference.

Who we are

Sonali Mahesh Hirve

Owner, ANKA

ANKA is owned and run by Sonali Mahesh Hirve. When you write or message us, you reach the people who run the business – and who stand behind every number in it.

What we believe

How we build, and why

Accuracy first

Every field is checked in its real format, on the screen and again on the server. A number you cannot trust is worse than no number.

Your data stays yours

Every company's records are invisible to every other, checked on every call. Nothing is thrown away – a record you delete can come back.

An honest roadmap

We say what is live, what is in development and what is planned – and our website says the same. You never buy a promise.

Built in India

GST, HSN and SAC, PAN and TAN, Indian states and cities, rupee amounts shown the Indian way – designed in, not added on.
