Startup compliance software built for Indian founders.
Draft turns company compliance into a calmer operating system for startup teams: track deadlines, generate review-ready drafts, maintain registers, and keep proof documents in one place.
Turn startup compliance into a structured workspace instead of a spreadsheet chase.
Track incorporation-linked and annual preparation work such as board meetings, ADT-1, INC-20A, AOC-4, and MGT-7 or MGT-7A where applicable.
Generate company assets, letterheads, stamps, registers, and resolution drafts from one company profile.
Keep founders, operators, CS teams, and CA teams aligned around the same evidence before official filing.
A compliance cockpit for the first messy year
The first year after incorporation is busy for Indian startups: bank paperwork, auditor appointment, commencement declaration, board records, director information, registers, and investor requests can all arrive while the team is still building the product. Draft turns that scattered operating work into one calm dashboard so founders can see what exists, what is pending, and what needs professional review.
Track tasks by status, due date, responsible person, form reference, supporting evidence, and next action.
Use company profile data once, then reuse it across resolutions, registers, assets, and filing preparation notes.
Create a startup compliance folder structure for incorporation documents, board records, annual filings, receipts, and generated drafts.
Give founders a practical checklist without presenting the software as a substitute for a CS, CA, lawyer, or government portal.
Workflows for founders, operators, and advisors
Startup compliance software should not only show a calendar. It should help the team complete the preparation work that sits behind each deadline. Draft supports founder operators who collect data, company secretaries who review governance records, and finance teams that need proof for audits, fundraising, or vendor checks.
Founder operator: see upcoming work, generate first drafts, and keep evidence ready before a review call.
Company secretary: receive cleaner company context, supporting documents, and draft language in one organized workspace.
CA or finance team: find incorporation proof, tax identifiers, board approvals, and compliance receipts without searching old message threads.
Leadership team: understand compliance readiness during fundraising, banking, vendor onboarding, or internal governance reviews.
Concrete startup examples
Draft is built around examples that Indian founders recognise. A newly incorporated private limited company may need to record the first board meeting, appoint an auditor, open a current account, maintain member and director records, and prepare annual filing evidence. A growing startup may need board approval for borrowing, share allotment, a registered office update, or a vendor contract authority.
Create first board meeting minutes and resolutions from company, director, date, venue, and agenda inputs.
Prepare a current-account resolution and authorised signatory context for bank review.
Keep a running record of statutory registers so investor diligence does not start from a blank spreadsheet.
Attach SRNs, challans, receipts, signed PDFs, and notes after the official portal work is completed externally.
A practical preparation cycle
The product flow is deliberately operational. The founder starts with the company profile, selects or reviews a task, creates a document draft where needed, saves proof in the vault, and marks the preparation status after human review. That cycle helps startups move faster while still leaving final legal interpretation and official submission outside the automation layer.
Profile: maintain the company name, CIN, registered office, directors, shareholders, capital, and tax identifiers.
Plan: use the Compliance Engine to identify upcoming preparation work and related documents.
Draft: generate a board resolution, minutes note, declaration, NOC, or letterhead from structured context.
Evidence: store the reviewed output and official proof so the next cycle starts with history instead of memory.
Guardrails that make the software trustworthy
Founders want automation, but compliance needs careful boundaries. Draft is framed as preparation software for Indian startup compliance, not an auto-filing product. It helps reduce repeated work, missing records, and poor handoffs, while reminding users that professional review and official portal completion remain separate steps.
No claim that Draft files directly with MCA, GST, income-tax, or any government department.
No fake guarantee that using a checklist makes a company fully compliant.
No hidden professional certification or attestation inside generated content.
Clear language for founders who want speed without losing accountability.
Founder questions
What makes Draft startup compliance software instead of a simple checklist?
Draft connects the checklist to the work behind it: company profile data, generated board documents, statutory registers, document storage, evidence notes, and handoff context for professionals.
Can a founder use Draft during fundraising diligence?
Yes. Founders can keep board records, registers, incorporation proof, filings evidence, and company assets organized so diligence requests are easier to answer. Professional verification should still happen where required.
Does Draft cover every compliance duty for every Indian entity?
No. Draft focuses on practical startup workflows and should be reviewed against the company type, facts, professional advice, and current official requirements before relying on any deadline or document.
Who inside a startup should own Draft?
It works well for founders, operations leads, finance teams, and CS or CA collaborators who need one shared place for company compliance preparation and evidence.
