01 — Local economy
Business in Guntur
Red chilli sets the rhythm of business here: Guntur's Mirchi Yard is widely described as Asia's largest chilli market, and the city is ringed by cold storages, graders and exporters. Virginia tobacco is the other pillar, with the Tobacco Board headquartered in Guntur, alongside cotton ginning and spinning mills and wholesale trade for the surrounding farm districts.
Where software helps: Chilli commission agents and cold-storage owners must track each farmer's bags by variety, grade and storage date, recover rent and advances, and settle sales to many buyers at fluctuating yard prices.

05 — FAQ
Custom software in Guntur: common questions
Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Guntur?
Yes. Our studio is in Jaipur, 1,270 km away, and we work with Guntur businesses over video calls in normal Indian working hours, with working software every two weeks.
Can a custom ERP handle GST in Andhra Pradesh?
Yes. Invoices raised in Andhra Pradesh carry GST state code 37, with CGST and SGST on sales within the state and IGST on sales to other states. A custom ERP generates e-invoices through the IRP and e-way bills, as our own SteelERP does.
Can your AI agents talk to customers in Telugu, English and Hindi?
Yes. Current language models handle Telugu, English and Hindi well, including mixed-language messages. We still test an agent in each language your customers use before it goes live, and route anything it is unsure about to your team.
What would a first project look like for a food business?
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For agriculture & food processing that is often farmer & supplier procurement and grading & lot tracking. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
