HISTORY OF TALLY
Shyam Sundar Goenka was running a company that supplied raw materials and
machine parts to plants and textile mills in southern and eastern India.
Unable to find software that could manage his books of accounts, he asked
his son, Bharat Goenka, 23, a Maths graduate to create a software application
that would handle financial accounts for his business. The first version of the
accounting software was launched as an MS-DOS application. It had only basic
accounting functions, and was named Petronius Financial Accountant.
