Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Parse voice-transcribed sales records in regional dialects to construct GST-compliant offline transaction ledgers. Reconcile input tax credits and calculate net liability summaries for small township storekeepers.

Small merchant business advisor

Ingest structured text transcripts from regional merchant purchase orders in Hindi, Marathi, and Kannada.

Map informal local commodity names to standardized Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) codes.

Compute applicable tax rates across intra-state supply transactions in an offline SQLite datastore.

Compile an explainable monthly tax estimate summary for merchant accountant verification.

Clean desktop and mobile offline accounting interface with vernacular toggle buttons and tax summary charts.

Curate synthetic bilingual grocery transactions and standard four-digit HSN mapping tables in SQLite. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.

Bhashini documentation Utilizes Bhashini NMT pipeline and language identifier conventions to standardize vernacular dialect terms.

ollama, sqlite3, pydantic. Runs local inference for HSN classification directly on merchant devices without network access. Local quantized Llama or Mistral variant executing on edge hardware via Ollama.

Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.

Associates vernacular item titles with appropriate 4-digit HSN codes accurately.

Calculates applicable tax splits correctly between central and state components.

Operates completely disconnected from the public internet.
