Our story
India runs on small businesses. Their software shouldn't run on paper.
Millions of food stalls, bakers, home brands, makers and local services do their best work every day, while managing it all with handwritten price lists, WhatsApp DMs and memory. The digital tools that exist were built for big companies, priced for big companies, and complicated enough to need training.
Our mission
Put a real storefront in the hands of every small business in India.
That's the job. And the India we're building toward: one where no business is too small to be online, and no one takes a cut of what they earn.
So we started with a photograph.
KioSnap began in 2026 with a simple observation: every small business already has a menu, a price list or a folder of product photos. It's just on paper and in phone galleries. The hard part of "going digital" was never the technology; it was the hours of typing, the confusing dashboards, and the fear of paying for something that might not work.
So we removed all three, and we keep removing whatever gets in the way. KioSnap is built in the open, shaped by what real sellers actually need rather than what looks good in a demo. The name says the plan: Snap. Display. Sell.
KioSnap is built by QubeXiq, an independent IT company in India.
From the founder
For vendors, by a vendor.
I'm Rishi. I'm a full-stack engineer with over ten years of building software, and I run QubeXiq, an IT company in Ahmedabad that builds custom software for businesses.
But before any of that, I'm a vendor's son, and a vendor myself. My father ran a food business for seven years. I run food stalls at exhibitions. And at home we run a tiffin service: my mother cooks, I pack, and I carried the tiffins to my own office.
Every evening I posted tomorrow's menu in the company WhatsApp group. Every day I tracked orders in an Excel sheet: who ordered, what, the price, delivered or cancelled. Orders got missed, because nobody checks group messages. Bills got miscalculated. I was living the exact problem KioSnap now solves.
I've stood on the customer's side of the counter too: queuing for a token, hearing my number shouted across the room, asking the waiter twice where my food is, checking a handwritten bill that didn't add up. And at every exhibition I think the same thing: these vendors are excellent, and the people sitting at home will never find them. That is why KioSnap has a marketplace: search by city and category, and the tiffin service, the mukhvas maker or the bike repairer near you shows up.
I built KioSnap alone, I onboard vendors personally, and I'm still building it every day.
What we believe
Affordable by design
Software for a market stall shouldn't cost like software for a mall. Our free tier is real, and our top plan costs less than a day of good sales.
No new habits required
Vendors shouldn't have to learn a computer to sell what they make. If you can take a photo and use WhatsApp, KioSnap already fits your hands.
Your channel, your revenue
We build your direct line to customers. No per-order commission, no middleman between you and the people who love what you make.
Grows when you grow
Solo seller today, a full counter team next year. Staff roles, order boards and kitchen displays switch on exactly when you need them, not before.
FAQ
About us, in short
Who is behind KioSnap?
Rishi Thakkar, a full-stack engineer in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, who built KioSnap solo in 2026 and still onboards vendors personally. He comes from a vendor family himself, and runs QubeXiq, the independent IT company behind KioSnap. No big-company playbook.
Is KioSnap an aggregator like Zomato or Swiggy?
No. Aggregators put a marketplace between you and your customers and charge commission per order. KioSnap builds your own direct channel (your storefront, your QR code, your customer relationships) for a flat subscription with zero commission.
Why is it called KioSnap?
Kiosk + snap: your business becomes a digital kiosk starting from a single snapshot of your menu or catalog. The tagline says the whole plan: Snap. Display. Sell.
How do you decide what to build next?
With our vendors. We share the build openly on Instagram, talk to sellers on WhatsApp daily, and let real usage decide what ships first. Online checkout, multi-outlet, thermal printing and WhatsApp updates are on the roadmap today.
