Rshmi Khetrapal, founder of Count Magic, a GST software company, said demonetisation and GST has helped create transparency and increase tax base and revenue. “A large number of shell companies have been identified. This has helped our business grow much faster. India was a largely cash-driven economy, but a large part of the country’s population has now opted for digital transactions,” Ms. Khetrapal said.
