Six months ago, I was sitting with a wedding planner friend who was managing 4 weddings simultaneously in December. Her laptop had 24 tabs open: Excel sheets for budgets, WhatsApp Web with 50+ unread client messages, Google Drive links for photogs, and manual Word documents for proposals.

"Lokesh, I spend 70% of my week doing manual admin work and chasing clients for milestone payments instead of actually designing dream events."

That was the spark for EventOS. I realized that while Western software like HoneyBook or HubSpot exist, none of them were built for the real realities of Indian event agencies — 18% GST auto-invoicing, WhatsApp run-of-show alerts, zero-fee UPI QR payments, and instant multi-tenant quotes.

I built the first version of EventOS in 6 months — working day and night to craft a system that lets planners send itemized PDF proposals in 45 seconds and automate client follow-ups. We are now accepting our first cohort of 25 founding agencies into our private beta community!
