I'm a developer based in India.
A few years ago, I was trying to figure out whether the old or new income tax regime would save me more money for the financial year. I spent 20 minutes jumping between three different websites — each one either had outdated tax slabs, was buried under popups, or asked me to create an account just to see a result. I got three different answers.
That was the moment I decided to build it myself.
I started with just five tools — an EMI calculator, a GST calculator, an income tax calculator, a BMI calculator, and a QR code generator. Each one built correctly, using the actual formula from the Income Tax Act or RBI guidelines — not approximations. No ads in the way. No login required.
People started using them. Then they asked for more. Today TekPulse has 119+ free tools covering finance, tax, health, developer utilities, image processing, and more — all built for the specific needs of Indian users, students, and professionals.
I keep TekPulse free by running non-intrusive Google ads. No paywalls. No subscriptions. No data harvesting. That has been the rule since day one and will stay that way.
