What is Kadaikodi and who is it for?

Kadaikodi[1] is commerce for every shop — on the street, on wheels or online. It is one AI-native app that runs the whole life of a small business's commerce and lets anyone tap a button and have the shop come to them.

It brings four things together:

• The shop comes to you. Request a salon cart, a pani puri stall or a cloth cart to your door, and choose how to buy: a doorstep visit, an at-home service, delivery, pickup, a booked store visit, a scheduled stop or a group stop. Each business decides which of these it offers.
• Run the whole store. Operations, staff, orders, stock, support, money and marketing — voice-first, in the local language, on a basic phone. Every sale lands in one daybook.
• Raise money to grow. Any storefront, mobile or fixed, can ask for investment against clear goals, with its financials, documents and a plain plan the AI drafts from its own sales.
• Back a business you know. Regular customers can back the stall they visit every week — reading its real record and deciding for themselves. Investing in a small business carries real risk, including losing some or all of the money put in. Kadaikodi never promises returns, is not a stock exchange, and does not give investment advice — every backer decides for themselves.

Kadaikodi is built for households and individuals, hosts and organisers, mobile vendors, fixed small shops, multi-cart owners and their staff, neighbourhood and hometown backers, and programme operators that support many vendors. See the use cases[3] or explore the features[4].
